This is the story of a Southern White boy growing up in segregated
Mobile and his struggle to escape. In Part One the boy, a newly
minted ACLU lawyer in Memphis, encounters racism while seeking to
obtain justice for a Black youth beaten by police after Dr. King's
assassination in 1968. When threats against his family become
oppressive, he flees to the North hoping to carry on his quest for
justice. Part Two chronicles his attempts in Massachusetts to
address issues of the disenfranchised, poor, people of color, gays,
and the mentally challenged. In doing so, he confronts a North that
when stripped of liberal patina is as steeped in racism as the
South. This memoir is about that boy's journey away from the
society in which he grew up and his attempt to atone for guilt by
leaving Memphis before his young Black client obtains justice.
