David Played a Harp
Author: Ralph W. Johnson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
A history of a college town, Davidson, NC, told in autobiography by an African-American barber who lived a 20th century of unparalleled change. Ralph Johnson, 96, caught in the poverty-ridden rule of Jim Crow customs, tells of struggles against disadvantage, unbelievable today, to get ahead. Of frugal, intense personal discipline, correspondence courses, self-schooling and hard work. As he moved into the post world war II years and his efforts began to find some success -- his 7-chair shop was one of the largest in the south -- he suddenly became the 1967 target of desegregation picketers who demanded he sacrifice his business to try to settle the centuries old curse of segregation. After a difficult, divisive struggle of a community with itself, Mr. Johnson's peacefully became the first publicly integrated barber shop anyone knew of in the South if not the nation and its demise followed shortly thereafter. Trying to understand what happened to him and why is a very personal puzzle in this eloquent, gripping life story as well as a life changing experience for any serious reader.
