Description:
Watching Our Crops Come In, the third in Clifton Taulbert"s acclaimed memoir series, begins in 1967 when, as a young airman, Taulbert leaves segregated Missisippi for a special assignment to Washington, D.C.. Grateful for having avoided combat in Vietnam, Taulbert comes face to face with another war -- the struggle for civil rights -- raging at home.
Expand description
Filled with the stirring recollections and loving wisdom that marked his earlier work, Watching Our Crops Come In vividly evokes the mood and personalities of the emerging civil rights era -- from the Freedom Riders and Martin Luther King, Jr to Taulbert's own work as a campaign volunteer for Robert E Kennedy. In his hometown, young idealists and old dreamers register the colored vote. And it is those very dreams -- learned on the front porches of his childhood -- that carry Clifton Taulbert through turbulent times in the fervent belief that tomorrow is the brightest day.
