p> The story of freedom, equality, and resilience. Meet the seven heroes who, in this oral history, share their personal experiences of surviving Jim Crow, the Southern racial caste system that sought to destroy the very core of the living spirit. Whether as soldiers in a segregated military, educators facing integration, or fathers trying to help their children understand discrimination based on the color of their skin, these octogenarians offer profoundly moving documentation of courage and faith as honored, contributing members to American society. Against all odds, these men emerged from that malicious saga, the South's fractured version of the American Dream, to witness the historical presidential election of Barack H. Obama with enormous pride. The book is written by a white woman inspired by her childhood relationships and experiences with African American neighbors in the segregated South.
