A POT AND A WINDOW: Family Stories of Challenge, Triumph, and Other Reflections - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The author captured life for he and his siblings in a light-hearted way as they grew up as a large African American family in rural Mississippi during the mid-nineteen-hundreds. They are children of a sharecropper. The book chronicles their life on the farm by exploring births, work, housing, food, clothing, school, church, idioms, and other aspects of their life. Life was hard and made harder in part due to the systemic inequities of the time. However, they did not dwell on their circumstances but rather their aspirations. Their story is presumed to be representative of their community’s story.
