A reckoning with the way we choose to see and define ourselves, Self-Portrait in Black and White is the searching story of one American family's multigenerational transformation from what is called Black to what is assumed to be White.

It is time to quit being mad at our white brothers and sisters and to give God glory because we found Him in the midst of our trials. Our jobs are to raise up families that serve and are willing to die for the love, blood that Christ ...
