For many young African Americans growing up in the 1950s old south, it meant being subjected to constant racism and restrictive Jim Crow laws. Jake Patterson, however suffered few of the indignations. His fiery grandmother taught him; he was equaled to everyone regardless to color, yet better than no one and to act accordingly. A sentiment that was soon lost on him. Though his dreams and aspirations were modest, they far exceeded anything remotely connected with that community. It was not in his makeup to be like most who accepted things the way they were. He wanted to experience the good life America seems to offer other races.
