A son connects to his father's history by the author of Once Upon a Time When We Were Colored. A journey home to the Mississippi Delta community of his own humble childhood became Clifton Taulbert's Christmas gift to his son — a trip to meet the people who had mentored and inspired Clifton as a boy, to see first-hand the value of family, community and love.
