Inhalt
In August of 1966, Jim Grimsley entered the sixth grade in his small eastern North Carolina hometown. But this year marked a significant shift in the way the people there - especially the white people - lived their lives. It was the year federally mandated integration of the schools went into effect. Now, more than 40 years later, Grimsley, the acclaimed gay Southern author of novels such as »Comfort and Joy«, or »Dreamboy«, revisits that school and those times, remembering his personal reaction to his first real exposure to black children and to their culture, and his growing awareness of his own mostly unrecognized racist attitudes. The book takes readers inside those classrooms and onto the playing fields as friendships were established, while all around them the adults found it impossible to accept the changes being wrought.
