Away From my Mothers Watchful Eyes
Away From my Mothers Watchful Eyes …a coming of age story. Paperback. Signed by author. In good preowned condition. 672 pages. This is a coming of age story that chronicles my early years growing up in inner-city, Brooklyn, New York amidst the turbulent, racially and socially explosive 1960s. The Civil Rights Movement was in full swing and while many older Negroes supported Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his calls for peaceful protests, many young Negroes gravitated to a more militant and confrontational approach to winning freedom and equal treatment under the law for all Negroes. Young people were constantly being harassed.
