About the Author

I was born in 1946 and raised in the Deep South before black was beautiful, voting was rational, and college was anything more than a pipe dream for Black people. These realities continued to shape my world view long after I became a man. My early years were dominated by a stern mother an absent father and a public school system determined to put white thoughts in my Black head. I was once disciplined for asking why we never learned about Black people in class. School did not excite me. Later Military service exposed many of the misgivings I held about the one nation thing. After the Army I soon became a crime statistic. The military is where I learned to sell and use drugs. My downward spiral ended only after I became homeless. In 2001 received a 100% rating as an honorably discharged disabled veteran and began to earn a college degree in 2005.
