Tom is Huey and Riley’s next door neighbor. As a successful African-American attorney, he probably could qualify as a role model to these boys. But instead, he’s seen more as a tool of the establishment, working to keep the black man down.
And to top it all off, he’s married to a white woman.
Jazmine DuBois
At the tender age of 10, Jazmine Dubois has her share of anxiety. Not only did she spend two years locked in her room after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, she was equally traumatized after finding out there was no such thing as the Tooth Fairy.
Jazmine must deal with being the child of an interracial relationship, and withstand the teasing of Huey and Riley, her next-door neighbors. Despite all this, she manages to remain optimistic and slightly naïve.
Sara DuBois
Tom’s wife and Jazmine’s mother.
