About this listen

 Born in a one-horse East Texas town near the end of World War II, the author experienced some of the worst the Jim Crow South had to offer. But, taught to read by his mother when he was four, and raised by a fiercely independent grandmother, he never fell prey to the stereotypes that others tried to apply to him, Black or White, insisting instead of defining himself and charting his own course.
From pig farm to palace to Pentagon, a journey that could not been imagined when the doctor in a smalltown clinic cut the umbilical cord on July 5, 1945.

Started out great. But by chapter 4 I totally lost interest. Virtual voice didn’t help. I like a real persons voice and change in tone. Seems more like a spark notes time line after chapter 3. Could not finish. Explaining pictures on and on like we can see them. Guy moved around so much that’s basically all they ended up talking about is when he went where. Sorry I really tried.
