Synopsis

Based on a true story, “Not Colored" is a gripping novel that chronicles the tumultuous journey of one Black family through the landscape of 20th-century America. At the center of this gripping narrative is Veda James, who broke barriers in 1945 by becoming the first woman to work in the LAPD's Detective Division. Blessed with an exceptional photographic memory that proves both a blessing and a curse, Veda propels her career to incredible heights while slowly succumbing to deep personal struggles due to the psychological toll of her law enforcement work. The story offers a poignant reminder that success often comes at a price, as Veda grapples with haunting images and the pressures of a misogynistic, racist system.
"Not Colored" skillfully intertwines Veda's personal victories and struggles with larger societal issues. Author Crystal Jackson explores the complex dynamics of race, identity, and social change. Her compelling storytelling highlights the challenges faced by generations of women, including workplace sexism and the intricacies of family life, all within a rapidly evolving world.
Immerse yourself in this unforgettable tale of resilience, determination, and the ongoing quest for equality, and recognition in American society. The book contains vintage family photos to enhance the story and news clippings that verify its factual origins. Rare Los Angeles Police Department photos and documents from Newton & Foothill Divisions (the 40s, 50s, and 60s) are also included.
