This book is a true winner if you love autobiographies or memoirs!
George was born January 1898 and died at age 103 years old in July 2001.Talk about seeing change in the world! George was born to grandparents who were slaves. He was affected by racism to a true and great degree. He once saw a man lynched and that, of course, changed the course of his life.
He married and fathered seven children.
George couldn't read but it was a lifelong ambition of his. When someone knocked on his door to inspire interest in local adult education courses George determined that it just might be time for him to learn to read. He was 98 years old when he learned to read and write.
His book is written in a conversational tone. I'd have loved to spend some time with George.
