520    "In August of 1966, Jim Grimsley entered the sixth grade 
       in the same public school he had attended for the five 
       previous years in his small eastern North Carolina 
       hometown. But he knew that the first day of this school 
       year was going to be different: for the first time he'd be
       in a classroom with black children ... Now, over forty 
       years later, Grimsley ... revisits that school and those 
       times, remembering his personal reaction to his first real
       exposure to black children and to their culture, and his 
       growing awareness of his own mostly unrecognized racist 
       attitudes"--|cProvided by publisher.
