This is a book written by the 90 year old author who wrote mostly about his personal life experiences. Being born in the South in 1931, only a few years after the signing the Emancipation Proclamation, racism was alive and well. He experienced the times when segregation was at its peak down South like, segregated restrooms, segregated water fountains and segregation of the races. During the author's childhood the new form of slavery, sharecropping was popular. Most Blacks at the time were subjected to that form of slavery. He wrote about the Ku Klux Klan riding in his neighborhood during voting time and on other occasions when they felt like harassing the black neighborhood. At the time, the police department down South only hired white men and it was always open season on Black men.
The author writes extensively about his personal experiences with racism, segregation in the South and his migrating to the North. He writes about the segregation he experienced in the North. He experienced racism in the armed services in 1951 even after they were declared integrated by President Truman in 1947.
