I remember moving to Mystic from western CT, and discovering a new sense of self as an Italian American girl. Yes, I was older, now ten, but it was more than that...now I was living in a town, and until I attended Catholic High School (where there were many Irish, Italian and Polish families), I encountered only one other ethnic family in our small town. Suddenly, I felt different, other, unique.
Can you relay experiences as a young person of color living in predominantly "white" communities (not family yet, first let's talk about towns, neighborhoods, schools).
