Review
"Taulbert's home was no ghetto. It was an enclave rich in cultural values that have remained his lifelong guides."
From the Publisher
What a pleasure!
It has been a great pleasure and privilege to publish this book which brings to life a time and place now gone, and a group of people who loved and nurtured each other under the very difficult circumstances of segregation.
