About this Book

Distinguished biographer Grant Hayter-Menzies has written a memoir of his journey through the past and the present, to his understanding of the complex legacies of slavery across American culture. Hayter-Menzies makes a remarkable departure from his past work, and --with con-tributions from health and education expert Dr. Lora-Ellen McKinney, writer and photographer Daryl D'Angelo, and artist Suzanne Korn-- achieves a memorable addition to a literature of growing importance.
