Black America 1956-1966: The Break-through Period: Contemporary Short Stories and Universal Poems

Black America, 1956-1966: The Breakthrough Period presents a startling side of the black experience in Texas and southern California that one may very seldom read or hear about in today's society. Employing drops of humor and black language, the author works to demonstrate the struggles that downtrodden Blacks had endured at a time when segregation in the South had reached its peak. When they got a breakthrough, they relocated to Los Angeles, California where they were well-equipped to conquer the surprising challenges.
