Using Harlem's ethnic organizations and memorable people as her backdrop, Mulligan creates joyously about weathering adolescence while history unfolds around her. This feel-good tale resonates with laughter and warmth as she chronicles her life among evangelists, curly-haired doo wop kids, snuff-dippers, Fidel Castro's entourage, interracial matrimony, chitlin' get-togethers and testy relationships between Western Indians and blacks. Meet Mr. Big B, a nearby numbers banker; sign up for her at the Apollo for Thursday matinees and visit Smalls Heaven and the Hot Cha, when she and her daddy go bar-hopping on Weekend mornings. She befriends baseball's Willie Mays in the shoeshine parlor, paints posters for the 1957 March on Washington, and will try, but fails to ingratiate herself into junior dark-colored society. This audiobook is a living document of middle-20th hundred years Harlem with charm for all America.
