Autorenporträt
Charlie Grainger, a native of Alabama, recounts his views of the historic changes that occurred as only a close observed could have. The civil rights battles are vivid and changes dramatic to American culture during the 82 years as told by one who was there. As a reporter, legislator, Washington lobbyist, and community leader, he had a front-row seat to most of the events and people he describes in this book.
