Leon’s Story by Leon Walter Tillage
Tillage grew up as a sharecropper’s son in the South, soon becoming a civil-rights protester. He matter-of-factly explains the realities of segregation, his own and others’ mistreatment and his ideas of nonviolent protest. A black custodian in a Baltimore private school, Tillage records his recollections with spare dignity.
