My Journey Through a Changing South

Charlie Grainger

Description

This memoir offers a fast-pace chronology of changes in the South as witnessed by a reporter, legislator, and observer over eight decades of tumultuous change.
Charlie Grainger has lived through eight decades of positive change in his favorite place---the American South.
Born on an unpaved Alabama country road during the Great Depression, he nearly died twice during infancy, nearly drowned as a teenager, then escaped death as a young man while flying on a small plane. Through multiple near death experiences, he says that God was always in his corner.
As a young man, the Summer of 1955 was filled with magic. He worked as a newspaperman and as a public relations professional. He witnessed an angry mob that beat up black Freedom Riders at the Montgomery Bus Depot. He was saved by a State Public safety director. Others were not so lucky.
View America through the eyes of a country boy who grew up to become a successful business executive, state legislator, and Washington lobbyist. It will give you a greater appreciation of how far we have come as a nation.
