Synopsis
I remember that as a young boy I used to look in the mirror and I would curse my color, my blackness. But in those days they didn't call you "black." They didn't say "minority." They called us "colored" or "nigger." Leon Tillage grew up the son of a sharecropper in a small town in North Carolina. Told in vignettes, this is his story about walking four miles to the school for black children, and watching a school bus full of white children go past. It's about his being forced to sit in the balcony at the movie theater, hiding all night when the Klansmen came riding, and worse. Much worse. But it is also the story of a strong family and the love that bound them together. And, finally, it's about working to change an oppressive existence by joining the civil rights movement. Edited from recorded interviews conducted by Susan L. Roth, Leon's story will stay with readers long after they have finished his powerful account.

Condition: Como nuevo. : Léon se souvient d'avoir longtemps fait sept kilomètres à pied pour se rendre à l'école avec ses frères et s?urs. Il se souvient qu'il fallait se cacher au passage du bus scolaire des enfants blancs, car souvent ils descendaient pour les frapper et leur jeter des pierres, avec la bénédiction du conducteur. Il se souvient que son père a travaillé sans relâche sans jamais pouvoir offrir de vêtements neufs à ses enfants. Et qu'il est mort, en pleine rue, renversé par une voiture de jeunes Blancs qui voulaient s'amuser.
