A real life story narrated by Alex Landau and Patsy Hathaway for StoryCorps. Alex, an African American man, was raised by his adoptive white parents to believe that skin color didn’t matter. But when Alex was pulled over by Denver police officers one night in 2009, he lost his belief in a color-blind world—and nearly lost his life. Alex tells his mother, Patsy, what happened that night and how it affects him to this day.
