In everyday life there does not seem to be anything unusual in speaking of the "character" of colors. We may speak of a delicate blue, a vivid red, a lively yellow, a naive green. Colors mean something to us; they have a kind of personality, more or less to be compared with the human personality. The ancient Egyptian word ~wn for "color" later came to mean also the character of a living being (8z, 414). Mantegazza even speaks of the "soul" of a color. A fine example of the intensity with which colors may be experienced is the following quotation from Sartre (204, 25). An artist coming from a cafe enters the sunlit street: "toutes les couleurs s'etaient allumees en meme temps et lui faisaient fete, comme en 29, c'etait le bal de la Redoute, le Camaval, la Fan­ tasia; les gens et les obj ets s' etaient congestionnes; le violet d'une robe se viola

At a time when race and inequality dominate national debates, the story of West Charlotte High School illuminates the possibilities and challenges of using racial and economic desegregation to foster educational equality. West Charlotte opened in 1938 as a segregated school that embodied the aspirations of the growing African American population of Charlotte, North Carolina. In the 1970s, when Charlotte began court-ordered busing, black and white families made West Charlotte the celebrated flagship of the most integrated major school system in the nation. But as the twentieth century neared its close and a new court order eliminated race-based busing, Charlotte schools resegregated along lines of class as well as race. West Charlotte became the city's poorest, lowest-performing high school—a striking reminder of the people and places that Charlotte's rapid growth had left behind. While dedicated teachers continue to educate children, the school's challenges underscore the painful consequences of resegregation. Drawing on nearly two decades of interviews with students, educators, and alumni, Pamela Grundy uses the history of a community's beloved school to tell a broader American story of education, community, democracy, and race—all while raising questions about present-day strategies for school reform.

Gain a deeper understanding of your emotional needs, unique strengths, and more in this beautiful guide that categorizes the 4 personality types by color: Red, Orange, Yellow, and Green. The role that color plays in our lives is far more powerful than most of us may imagine. Color influences all aspects of who we are, both internally and externally.

Here, Carol Ritberger, Ph.D., has matched colors that represent the four personality types: Red Personality Types: sensing, thinking in their functioning; their orientation is through external stimuli Orange Personality Types: sensing, feeling in their functioning; their orientation is through fulfilling the emotional needs of others. Yellow Personality Types: intuitive, thinking in their functioning; their core mental function is right-left brain, and they are good problem solvers. Green Personality Types: intuitive, feeling in their functioning; their orientation to the world is toward people and the need for relationships What Color Is Your Personality will teach you how color and personality characteristics go together—and how you can find out which color you and your friends are!
