People were on the move---more than six million over a period of 50 or 60 years. Four children, the oldest just 12 years old, were on a train heading north. They had what looked like a shoe box with them that probably held their food, and several small, rather old and worn looking suitcases. They were quiet, looking out the window, and occasionally glancing at each other as if to say, "what are we doing here?" What was the reason for this journey? Where were they going? Where were their parents? How would this journey affect their lives---particularly the life of the older boy?

Autorenporträt
LaVerne C. Kenon, an Educator and a National Paul Laurence Dunbar Scholar, hails from the glorious little town of Lake City, Florida. She spent four stimulating years at Hampton Institute, her "home by the sea," after high school. Her extensive background as an Educator opened opportunities for her vigorous post-graduate study and specialized experiences from Chicago, Illinois, to Okinawa to Tokyo, Japan. As a National Paul Laurence Dunbar Scholar she applauds Dunbar's forward thinking. He addressed the concept of America's Negro migration in his fourth and last novel, The Sport Of The Gods, in 1902. His London edition of the same book was entitled, The Jest of Fate, also published in the year of 1902. LaVerne has retired from the Ohio Historical Society as Historical Site Manager and Steward of the Paul Laurence Dunbar State Memorial in Dayton, Ohio. Also, she now resides in Dayton, Ohio. This journey of Clarence Lincoln Thomas Sr., reveals the migration of the Thomas family with focus on his personal journey which imparts: his challenges; his perseverance; and his accomplishments.
