This memoir recounts the first seventy years of David Palmer's life, from growing up as a child in World War II in the English village of Aldbourne, to becoming a civil rights activist in America, to his current post as a docent at the City of Washington museum. In 1960 Palmer decided to immigrate to the United States. Upon his arrival in Washington DC, he became fully aware of the extent of anti-Black racism in American society. He became convinced of the need to oppose all racist attitudes and became involved in the local civil rights movement. After completing college, he worked on the implementation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Contained within are not only his memories of these events, but also an analysis of post-war Britain and the changes in its social structure, and the continued problem of racism in American society.
