About the book
Mama's Black Child
From the orange groves in Florida in the 1940s to the U.S. Army in the 1950s through the 1980s, J. Paul Montgomery fought prejudice for being a dark-complexioned black man, even within his own family. His U.S. Army service in communications/operations and recruitment took him from Florida to Hawaii, Thailand, Germany, Vietnam, and Korea, as well as several stateside army posts— a career that eventually ended with a diagnosis of depression and post-traumatic stress. This book details his exploits, musings, and heartaches as he makes his journey through a fascinating life.
About the book
Clermont and Beyond
It was an afternoon in early June 1952. The school was turning out for the summer break, and our community was about to experience an exciting first. My older sister Deloris and several other students from our community were graduating from high school. That afternoon, my mother, five brothers, baby sister, and I waited eagerly on the front porch to congratulate my sister. As we waited, we started a conversation about careers. My mother spoke of one of the boys, who had several opportunities now that he had his diploma, “Tom can be a foreman in the groves now that he has his diploma.”
