Kelvin De'Marcus Allen has crafted a luminous narrative that speaks
volumes to those of us who came of age during and immediately after
the civil rights movement. Kelvin grew up as the "bastard child,"
the beleaguered fruit of a poor, single mother, and a father who
treated him as if he were invisible. One of seven children, the
struggling family lived in a rundown, wood-frame house with
plumbing so bad the family often had to relieve themselves in a
hole in the backyard. W.E.B. Dubois' "The Souls Of Black Folk" and
Gordon Park's "The Learning Tree" come to mind while reading
Kelvin's slim elegant volume. Some may think the comparison is a
stretch - Dubois. The "agitator-prophet," and Parks, the
quintessential Renaissance man, are two of America's greatest
heroes - perhaps Kelvin's greatest work is yet to come. Kelvin
De'Marcus Allen is a graduate of North Carolina Central University
in Durham, N.C., and holds a Master of Arts degree in Leadership
& Liberal Studies from Duquesne University.
