Houston 1951-1963
No Customer Reviews
Mark Bowman grew up in Houston, a white boy, during the last turbulent years of Jim Crow segregation, 1951-1963. His world was catching crawdads, plugging melons at the ice house, and endless days of summer vacation. He belonged to the Cub Scouts, and the Children of the Confederacy. But his world was ending. Follow Mark as he tries to make sense of the Civil Rights movement, chain-ins and enforced integration. Experience with him the horrors of a Cat-5 hurricane and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Join him in exploring a California vacation in 1959 Disneyland. Sorrow with him at the final ending to comic books and jaw breakers, Halloween and the last day of school.
