Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2022 Remaster) (Rmst)

Pegasus is a firsthand account of a young black boy who becomes a thirteen-year old Mobilgas filling station attendant in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1954. The book describes the amazing education, challenges and opportunities provided by the station's white courageous proprietors, a father and son, who became the boy's surrogate grandfather and father. It is a unique autobiographical journey of a life before, during and after the 1957 Little Rock Integration Crisis. The author's experiences cover a wide range of emotion and passion during his first 21 years of life, including love, humility, humanity and racism. The filling station is the unusual setting that is the center of the boy's universe. It describes the interesting mix of cars, characters and circumstances the young attendant encountered daily at the filling station. This narrative illustrates the passion, both love and hate, exhibited on both sides of the color line. Read more at readpegasus.com.
