I enjoyed reading Clifton Taulberts life story because I could identify with so many of his experiences. Although living in Indiana (up North) meant no written Jim Crowe signs we had Sunset Laws...dont be in this town or neighborhood once the sun goes down.

I'm bothered by the teacher who rated this two stars and won't use this in their classroom because it's not about segregation and injustice per se. They complain it's more personal.

I had higher hopes for this book. I picked it up, thinking that I might be able to use pieces of it when I teach The Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963 in my Children's Lit classes. Unfortunately, I don't think many of my students would stay interested as they read.The bulk of the book is made up of snippets of Taulbert's memories of growing up in Glen Allen, MS. The book deals more with community, family, and education than it does with segregation in the south. I was expecting stories that
