First edition signed cooy

Very interesting book! My mama grew up in Selma and she is about the same age as JL Chestnut, so this had particular interest for us. His was quite a life. We were sorry to have his story end. I just can't imagine being in his shoes, where one could not let their guard down for a minute or the white people would be trying to do you in yet again with some new tactic! I'm sure many people of color feel that way now. I was glad of the education. Mr Chestnut is a good writer and a grand storyteller. A very engaging book and hard to put down. ( )
