My Pisces Heart
An intimate and culturally engaged memoir exploring life as a Black immigrant, tracing Jennifer Neal's journey from Japan to Chicago, Australia and, finally, Berlin Jennifer Neal mastered the art of reinvention from an early age, with her father's career uprooting and moving her family across the American South every three or so years. Home was experienced transiently, and she has since spent her adulthood traveling the world, searching for a place of security and acceptance. Weaving together memoir with the historical and present-day political, she interrogates her experience of living in countries across four different continents – what drew her to these places, and what eventually pushed her away.

Lt. Williams on the Color Front
“Lieutenant, I’m neither a member of the NAACP nor of the White Citizens’ Council,” said Colonel Ritter. “But I would have preferred the Department of the Army to send me a White lieutenant instead of a Colored one like you.” This is the story of Lieutenant Neal Williams’ struggle when, in the early 1950s, he was assigned as a platoon leader in an all-white Army Infantry Regiment in Germany. This assignment placed him “on the color front” of a racially segregated Army where it was not accepted policy to have a Colored officer in charge of White soldiers. While on the color front, though not always successful, Lieutenant Williams had to reach deep inside himself for strength and determination to meet the challenges and dilemmas that extended from his regimental commander to his company nemesis, and from his girlfriend back home to the array of women ready to comfort soldiers regardless of their race.
