No Color Is My Kind
















Thomas R. Cole is Professor Emeritus of the McGovern Centerfor Humanities and Ethics. Cole is the former Professor of Oslerian Medicine and founding Director of the McGovern Center for Humanities and Ethics at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston). Cole graduated from Yale University (BA, Philosophy, 1971), Wesleyan University (MA, History, 1975), and the University of Rochester (PhD, History, 1981).

Cole’s interest in the life stories of older people has taken him into biography and film-making. In 1984, he encountered a hospitalized psychiatric patient who claimed he was the “original Texas integration leader.” Their collaboration resulted in a book—No Color Is My Kind: The Life of Eldrewey Stearns and the Desegregation of Houston (University of Texas Press, 1997)—and an accompanying film, The Strange Demise of Jim Crow, broadcast nationally on over 60 PBS stations and internationally by the State Department. The documentary received numerous awards and was nominated for a regional Emmy and a National Humanities Medal. DR. COLE SPENT OVER 13 YEARS AFTER MEETING THE LATE DR ELDREWEY STEARNES RECOVERING THIS VALUABLE HISTORY. GET YOUR COPY TODAY!!!!

The Strange Demise of Jim Crow is a multi-level story of urban power and change: student demonstrators vs. segregationists; the white power structure's fear of integration vs. their greater fear of violence, embarrassing national publicity and financial losses; secret deal-making vs. freedom of the press. The leader of the PYA(Progressive Youth Association), the late Dr. Eldrewey J Stearnes.
