When I was about age 3, his parents moved to Atlanta, Georgia. I graduated from D. H. Stanton Elementary School and received the Outstanding Student Award. I was greatly influenced in Atlanta by Richard Wright’s Black Boy. First, I attended Smith High. Later, Calhoun High (in Alabama) became my new school. I founded a school newspaper, Tiger Talk, and was editor-in-chief. I am a native of Montgomery, Alabama, who graduated from Faulkner University. My articles have appeared in Alabama’s main newspaper, the Montgomery Advertiser. Also, I authored Two Big Days.
