The Colored Folks Ain't Gonna Make It

“The Colored Folks Ain't Gonna Make It” continues Michael Ward's fulfillment of his father Harold's dying request. It's a window into a family's existence as the "Index of Integration" in rural New Hampshire from the late '50s until the present time. Michael's recollections are powerful and precise. The events recounted span the full range of emotion and thought. They will make you laugh, cry, angry and thankful; sometimes all within the same story. But above all, his stories will make you reflect on the commonality of human experience. “The Colored Folks Ain't Gonna Make It” is volume 2 in the Sketches of Lee series.
