Produktinformationen zu „Back from the South (ePub)“
In Back from the South, author Dr. Teressa V. Staten offers an autobiographical picture of how events of the segregated South defined her character and that of her late husband, John. This African-American couple was married forty-one years until a tragic accident ended Johns life.
This memoir chronicles how Teressa and John overcame blatant racism to achieve numerous accomplishments. It shares the couples personal struggles with depression and the unexpected, heartbreaking suicide of their son. Back from the South explores the positive and negative consequences of being the first to integrate many situations in a rapidly evolving culture resistant to change. Staten describes how their character, education, and sheer determination led them to leave their hometowns in the South, move to the north, and work through institutional odds to become middle-class Americans, often being the first blacks to work and live in all-white workplaces and communities.
Covering a span of a half century, Back from the South provides insight into one couples pilgrimage during the height of the civil rights movement.
