The Color of Friendship

Mahree Bok lives on a farm in South Africa. Her father is a policeman who cannot hide his joy when activist Steve Biko is caught by the South African authorities. Piper Dellums is the daughter of a U.S. congressman from California who lives in a nice home in Washington D.C. When Mahree is chosen to spend a semester at the Dellums' house, she doesn't expect that her host family would be Black; nor were her hosts expecting their South African visitor to be white.
