Saga of an Angry Young Black Man

Saga of an Angry Young Black Man is the true-life story of the author's transition from an attention-seeking but otherwise mild-mannered high school graduate to an angry young man. For him, the school of life came too soon. Realizing he was not prepared physically, mentally, or emotionally to support himself doing strenuous manual labor, the only jobs available to an uneducated black man, he joined the US Army. Six weeks later, he joined the Job Corps but left after only eight months without learning a trade. Once back home, he risked his freedom and life by trespassing and stealing before enticing a minor to join him in South Florida. Once there, getting high became a way of life that led to a life of crime as he released his anger upon all who opposed him. This is his story.
