This is a story of my journey...

...in search of who I am becoming, told through memories and reflections of my inner and outward experiences. Much of the theme are reflections on my personal experiences with racial prejudices and challenges throughout my youth and adult life and how those experiences helped to shape the individual I became. As a poet who discovered his obligation to write and teach late in life and who has been a witness to the human experience and a seeker of self-knowledge, I chronicle a journey of seeking the meaning and purpose of my life in the context of racial barriers and life challenges. Spoken through poems, essays, and personal narrative I, Too, Am Tar Baby offers an archetypal model of the journey of self-discovery for Black youth and young adults. The memoir teaches all Americans that the work of creating a more just society is as much a moral responsibility for those who deny history as it is for those who have been impacted by racial inequality and injustice.
