Chicken Shack: Growing Up Black and Poor in Alabama During the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s [EPUB ebook] 

This book describes what life was like for my family and me living in rural, rurban, and urban Alabama during the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s. Life for a poor black family living in Alabama during these decades was quite challenging. Even more challenging was being a poor black male growing up in Alabama during the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s. This is my story.
