Description

Harry Atwood Reed, Ph.D. 1934-2019 Dr. Reed's book brings to life a young black man coming of age in Atlantic City, aware of racism, who is neither overwhelmed nor embittered by it. Harry attributes this to his functioning, non-ghettoized black community and the guidance of his mother, stepfather, and others young and old in his small, tight knit, self-policing community - before telephone and TV. He acquaints us with his lively family: 9 siblings, Mom, stepfather, Bajan grandparents, aunts, uncles, his teachers and gypsies. He gains valuable life experience in his many before and after school jobs: gathering wood for furnace and stove, gleaning from the farmers' market, working on the last milk wagon in New Jersey, and running numbers for his grandmother. He and his neighborhood pals organize fights. He loves tag, scummy, baseball, football, Atlantic City jazz clubs, and home cooking. He encounters cops and white college boys. Harry ponders poverty, WPA jobs, Depression Relief Office food, and the WWII draft. He drops out of high school, rides the rails cross country for a year before joining the Navy.
