A Wonderful Book of Southern Life

First, let me say that I'm a small bit bias because the handyman, Ben, is my father. This book shares the history of how southern African Americans made sure that communities continued to survive. Deals on handshakes kept families fed. If you love the "African American Lives" series, this book is for you.
