Publisher's Note: This history records the life of an unusual African American man, the institutions & conditions which shaped & molded him, & mandated his compliance. It documents his revolutionary challenges & his efforts to reach conciliatory, just & rational resolutions, sometimes at the risk of his own survival. Evidence of programmatic & systematic racial discrimination is demonstrated & plain injustice in high & unexpected places is revealed in this historical saga. The author brings truth to the unbelievable happenings in the twentieth century when you walk with him through his youth & manhood - at home, in high school & college, as a marine sergeant, a naval officer, an administrator & even in church. Exercising unobtrusive leadership, the author sought to cooperate, but was unwilling to 'compromise.' Knowing that his postulating would cause him to have many difficult experiences & pain, he refused to change, believing that 'joy would come in the morning.' A personal testimony - I guess that is what my mother ('his conscience') meant when she told me that I was something special. The welcomed birth of her eleventh child & only son when she was forty-nine years old was an answered prayer. She said, 'God gave me you, & I gave you back to Him; you can run but you cannot hide from God. But always remember, Son, no cross, no crown.' The book tells the whole story, even of having a little bit of heaven on earth.
