Produktbeschreibung
This book is about my journey in life growing up through the years. This is a true story of how it was living in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, during the Jim Crow era, and military life, also my life as a citizen after the Jim Crow era in the United States. This book shows the statutes that a Black citizen had to live by in America. The story that am telling is not just about me. This is how Black people live in the USA. When you read this story, you can also see the progress that has been made in this country between White and Black relationships. I have come this far without hate but seeking equal rights. When you see Black people protesting, it is not because we hate, but to be able to reach the American Dream. This is what this book is all about.
