This book is a memoir of the time Harry Knickerbocker spent working as a news photographer in North Carolina between 1967, and 1971, when the Jim Crow laws were fading away.

It's about the severe repression of the black community in Wilmington, NC. Up until the passage of civil rights legislation in the mid-sixties, North Carolina was an apartheid society. The Ku Klux Klan was very active. They hated blacks, Jews, and liberal Yankees like myself. When Harry made the change from photography to art, his marriage to a southern woman fell apart. Threats were made. A church was burned. This book is about the rebellious freedom of the creative urge.
