A true story of perseverance, unity, and hope, “The Kindness of Color” follows two immigrant families facing separate battles with racism in WWII-era Southern California. Unexpectedly, their paths intertwine, ultimately paving the way for the court case Mendez, et al. v. Westminster and the desegregation of California public schools seven years before Brown v. Board of Education.
 
In the face of tremendous discrimination, the Mendez and Munemitsu families are sustained by the simple yet harrowing acts of kindness extended to them by friends and strangers as they navigate their difficult journeys toward justice. It is this kindness that encourages their hearts, opens paths to solutions, and creates communities of support — all highlighting the beauty and power of  “The Kindness of Color.”
