A Palette, Not a Portrait
This memoir starts with humorous but honest glimpses of this mostly middle class and mostly African American North Carolina family. It contains revealing stories about the author’s life at Yale from 1948 to 1952 and his unusual experiences in the military.

The concluding sections are an essay on his quest to understand God and religion and a thoughtful dialogue on love and marriage.
