Publisher's Synopsis
"I believe Dr. Blake's memoir is the classic of classics of books written about the Black/White race thing. It catches more of the reality than "To Kill a Mockingbird - and "Gone with the Wind". Even better than all of Faulkner's novels. Why do I say this?
More important, he captured the reality of the past century of Black/White reality through his parents and extended family.
After finishing the Ole Miss School of hard-core white supremacy, he was introduced to the reality of racial reconciliation. Dr. Blake's memoir is a must read for everyone interested in the Black/White race thing in the world."
James Meredith, Esq. First Black Graduate of the University of Mississippi '62
