Ten-year-old Jabari loves to paint. Through these paintings, he escapes the turbulent world around him and the reality of a friend’s violent encounter with police. In his dreams, he meets children and young people from the Civil Rights era, including Ruby Bridges and Claudette Colvin, who teach him how to be fearless. He also meets his hero, former U.S. President Barack Obama, as a young boy on the eve of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.
