Abstract:
This book describes the myriad of folks that inhabit places like the up-South streets of Chicago or the unaltered roads of Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, and other pockets inhabited by Blacks throughout the South. The author has lived with these folks--sharecroppers, preachers, misplaced Mississippi blues men and women.
