Fly in the Buttermilk: The Life Story of Cecil Reed (Singular Lives)

Rating:
Summary: Story of an irrepressable black American.
Review: Cecil Reed's book gives the reader a funny and inspiring inside look at the life of one African American from the beginning of the 20th century to the end. It's a unique opportunity to see how race relations worked outside the deep south. The book also records the texture and flavor of small town life in days gone by seen from a black perspective. You may not always agree with Cece Reed's way of dealing with his challenges, but you've got to admire his warm and enthusiastic approach to them.

Review: I heard Mr. Cecil A. Reed talk to the participants of a Management Workshop. He was very inspiring. One of the added benefits was receiving an autographed copy of his book. After hearing him speak, and reading his book, you have a deep appreciation for the man and the wisdom he shares with his audience. The story about his son will bring tears to your eyes. A great read and be sure to buy an extra copy to give as a gift.
