One man's extraordinary journey through the twentieth century and
how he learned to read at age 98
"Things will be all right. People need to hear that. Life is good,
just as it is. There isn't anything I would change about my
life."--George Dawson
In this remarkable book, George Dawson, a slave's grandson who
learned to read at age 98 and lived to the age of 103, reflects on
his life and shares valuable lessons in living, as well as a fresh,
firsthand view of America during the entire sweep of the twentieth
century. Richard Glaubman captures Dawson's irresistible voice and
view of the world, offering insights into humanity, history,
hardships, and happiness. From segregation and civil rights, to the
wars and the presidents, to defining moments in history, George
Dawson's description and assessment of the last century inspires
readers with the message that has sustained him through it all:
"Life is so good. I do believe it's getting better."
