5.0

hard to get through, but I'm glad I got through it. interesting to read about issues in the south 100 years ago, & to realize that conditions -- social, economical, emotional -- aren't better or worse for Black men, just different. happy to have read this, and wish I did before I wrote my own memoir about similar topics!
