A child reflects on the meaning of being Black in this moving and powerful anthem about a people, a culture, a history, and a legacy that lives on. Red is a rainbow color. Green sits next to blue. Yellow, orange, violet, indigo, They are rainbow colors, too, but My color is black . . . And there’s no BLACK in rainbows. From the wheels of a bicycle to the robe on Thurgood Marshall's back, Black surrounds our lives. It is a color to simply describe some of our favorite things, but it also evokes a deeper sentiment about the incredible people who helped change the world and a community that continues to grow and thrive. Stunningly illustrated by Caldecott Honoree and Coretta Scott King Award winner Ekua Holmes, Black Is a Rainbow Color is a sweeping celebration told through debut author Angela Joy’s rhythmically captivating and unforgettable words.

For 2000 years the Creator’s language lay dormant; for all intents and purposes – a Dead Language, a by-word associated with the forlorn plight of a People without an identity. Miraculously, following the pattern of the death, burial and resurrection of the Messiah, this “Living Word” rises, made to live again, on the 3rd day, our day, to become the standard to which the People of the Book must return in order to seek out and identify their Deliverer! The eternal stage has been set as the conflict of the ages rises to a crescendo, culminating in the greatest assault against The Sovereign King and those in Covenant with Him, that the world has ever seen. It is by no means an accident that an awakening is occurring. The return to the Ancient Paths and an even more Ancient Tongue leading a People to their destiny – a confrontation with the Anti-Messiah! The Apocalyptic weapons of this supernatural being, coupled with the intentional, mistranslated, prophetic declarations of a broken, annihilated, People, are about to be revisited as history records the restoration of this Ancient Pure language, its latent power in the hands of a Faithful Remnant, tipping the balance of Power! You are about to be introduced to the single, most powerful force in Creation – The Rainbow Language! ARISE O’ YAH AND LET YOUR ENEMIES BE SCATTERED! Psalms 68:1

In a world where challenges often appear insurmountable, where climate change serves as an urgent reminder of a deeper crisis, there exists a beacon of hope—a profound wisdom concealed within the timeless realm of Sacred Geometry.

Venerated as god and goddess, feared as demon and pestilence, trusted as battle omen, and used as a proving ground for optical theories, the rainbow's image is woven into the fabric of our past and present. From antiquity to the nineteenth century, the rainbow has played a vital role in both inspiring and testing new ideas about the physical world. Although scientists today understand the rainbow's underlying optics fairly well, its subtle variability in nature has yet to be fully explained. Throughout history the rainbow has been seen primarily as a symbol&—of peace, covenant, or divine sanction&—rather than as a natural phenomenon. Lee and Fraser discuss the role the rainbow has played in societies throughout the ages, contrasting its guises as a sign of optimism, bearer of Greek gods' messages of war and retribution, and a symbol of the Judeo-Christian bridge to the divine. The authors traverse the bridges between the rainbow's various roles as they explore its scientific, artistic, and folkloric visions. This unique book, exploring the rainbow from the perspectives of atmospheric optics, art history, color theory, and mythology, will inspire readers to gaze at the rainbow anew.
