issues in the telling of his life story: the desire to better
oneself, the desire to learn, and then hard work to improve
one's economic status. No matter male or female, black or white.
His beginning with a segregated education, culminating with his
retiring as a professor from a large university, show just how
far this country has come in the last fifty years.  It doesn't
matter who you are or where you come from, as long as you are
willing to help yourself.
