Wright, Richard. The Color Curtain: A Report on the Bandung Conference. Jackson, MS: Banner Books, 1995.
Description from WorldCat:
This indispensable work urging removal of the color barrier remains one of the key commentaries on the question of race in the modern era. First published in 1956, it arose from Richard Wright’s participation in a global conference held in Bandung, Indonesia, in April 1955. With this report of what occurred at Bandung Wright takes a central spot on the international stage and serves as a harbinger of worldwide social and political change. He exhorts Western nations, largely responsible for the poverty and ignorance in their former colonies, to destroy racial impediments and to work with the leadership of the new nations in moving toward modernization and industrialization under a free democratic system rather than under Communist totalitarianism. With this book, Wright became a precursor to the era of multiculturalism and an advocate for global transformation.

This work shows how Western nations treated their former colonies as if they were a garden where they could step on the grass and unload their mess on top.
In The Color Curtain: A Report on the Bandung Conference I believe that the author has found the best recipes for overcoming inequalities and seeking reconciliation between the peoples involved in the underlying cultural conflict.
Drawstring curtains how to fixyou looking for how to make Drawstring Curtains? It is actually pretty easy. It just takes some time and the right materials, but hey, at least you don’t have to sew them! Drawstring curtains were once considered the poor cousin of all curtain rods.
I recall our “local” mcdonalds menu with no dining room. Once, as my Dad was coming home from work during a snow storm, he stopped there and they were closing early so they gave him BAGS of food free. We kids thought Heaven had come to earth!! 60 years ago. 😊
