Dooly County, Georgia, whose life gave birth to a large family of
Smiths, Turners, Simpsons, Holmeses, and Spiveys, all Africans with
European names who have forgotten neither her nor her deeds.

CONTENTS

I CAME OF AGE DURING A PERIOD of social unrest, when demonstrations against racial segregation abounded and protests were beginning to rise against the unrelenting political oppression of the American Souths black population. In my youth Black Studies was neither an idea for universities nor a destination for black students. The colors of my youth were red with the violence of physical abuse and black with the people who surrounded me in the coastal plains of South Georgia. Cruel history teachers who were often hidden behind hooded masks wrote the lessons I learned.

I am a child of the South, born during the Second Great European International War and reared in the heated environment of the turbulent age of social and political transformation. The revolutionary thinkers and actors of the 1960s who sought to create the discipline of Black Studies largely came from similar backgrounds or were inspired by the lay historians like J. A. Rogers, John Henrik Clarke, Yosef ben-Jochannon, Edward Robinson, and numerous others who were linked to that same America.
