Description: "Mindy Thompson Fullilove offers a series of meditations on her remarkable family and the places where they have lived.

She lovingly recalls her parents: her father, a black leader of the labor movement, and her mother, a white woman whose boundless generosity was always in conflict with the racial divisions of the world around her. "Place" is a major actor in her family story, and in the course of bringing the backgrounds of six generations into the foreground, Fullilove uncovers the many lives - her own included - that are rooted in those places."--BOOK JACKET.
