Publisher's Synopsis
Alwin Kershaw was always either fighting for people's rights or telling their stories. While in college in the 1950s, he fought for the admittance of Blacks to Ole Miss and went on to tell their stories at Newsweek and the New York Times, eventually becoming the lead feature obituary writer at the Times. He may have told and shared others' stories, but he was rarely true to his own. This is the story of a man's lifelong journey through war zones, riots, and love to find the self-acceptance he so desperately needs.
