Synopsis

Erasing The Orange Line, is the sequel to the previous book, The Orange Line. This book is a continuation of their lives, their hopes and dreams after the Championship Football Game in their senior year. Views about segregation changed for some and because of that change, many lives improved. Experience the fun and laughter; the heartbreak and sadness encountered by the troubled years of nineteen fifty and nineteen fifty-one. After graduation, decisions had to be made by young adults concerning their future, but because of the draft their plans took second place to the war in Korea. It was very difficult to plan a future with the Korean Conflict in full swing, therefore, for some, it was just better to volunteer for the service and complete your duty before making plans for the future. Jimmy Ray, (Fatso) and Sammy elected to put their plans on hold and go ahead and enlist in their chosen branch of service. Both were sent to Korea after basic training, where their paths crossed many times. This was a lasting friendship that lasted until tragedy struck because of a war that was not called a war.
