Life during the 60's beyond the Mason-Dixon
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The author gracefully narrates his past as a black man living during civil rights movements, race riots, unequal oportunities, war, the Kennedy assination, and urban sprawl. It was at this time in history that Clifton Taulbert, the author, migrated from the agrigarian community of Greenville, MS to the industrial St. Louis, only to fulfill his destiny. It's very interesting how much he accomplished in 5 to 6 years during the 60's, and despite the odds against him and black people in general, he triumphed in many ways. This autobiographical recount conveys a warm message of hope and family tradition. Read it to believe it.
Good Weekend Reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a great book to sit down with on a cold weekend. Just grab a quilt and let yourself be taken to the South where the author writes about his life. Not one of them boring autobiographies but a good story.
