Description
A critically acclaimed anthology of verse, Nigger For Life reflects the painful, later life discovery of Neal Hall, M.D., that in unspoken America, race is the one thing on which he is first judged, by which he is first measured, first against which his life and accomplishments are metered diminished value, dignity and equality. All of which have everything to do with accessing choice, opportunity, power and freedom in America. Nigger For Life reveals Dr. Hall's deep sense of betrayal combined with his fervent passion for life and equality for all. His words pierce through in candid, gut wrenching clarity. He bares his intelligence, wit and dreams.
