9781577780281: Once upon a Time When We Were Colored

Synopsis

In this beautifully evocative tale of life in the segregated South, Clifton L. Taulbert looks back at his "colored" childhood with deep pride, striking honesty, and unusual affection. Undaunted by the segregation, Taulbert's aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, and friends are a loving, dignified, and humorous lot. Together they instill in young Taulbert a deep sense of community, optimism, and self-worth. Whether trying to pick 200 pounds of cotton in one day, eagerly awaiting the yearly arrival of the minstrel show and the chance to see the beautiful colored ladies on stage, or learning a life lesson from his grandfather, Taulbert had faith that, despite the hardships of his young life, he could realize his dreams.

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.
