From Black and White to Living in Color

De: Donald Davis

Narrado por: Donald Davis

There was a time during Donald Davis's college freshman year when he wasn't really sure if he wanted to claim his hometown of Sulpher Springs, North Carolina. But a boy by the name of Stanley Easter changed his mind.

"The year after that," he recalls, "I did go home from college for Thanksgiving. In fact, I had now become so proud of where I was from that I could hardly wait to get home. I no longer had to lie about where I was from. The world of childhood was quickly becoming a dear place to visit."

This story of accepting one's roots endears anyone who has ever thought twice about admitting where they came from. And Davis, in his sly narration, acknowledges that a whole lifetime of thoughts and attitudes can be rearranged in a single moment.

I wept

I have long LOVED Donald Davis. I never weary of listening to his wonderful, wonderful stories. These two stories are ones I had never heard. You will be enriched!

Bus Driving High School Students and More

This is my first listen by Donald Davis, but it surely won't be my last. What a phenomenal story teller! I could listen to him all day long. The gentle lessons learned during a time in the south that was anything but fair to the black community are something to behold. I caught myself cheering, laughing and crying as these tales unfolded. High school students who had just gotten their driver's licenses, going to a class to learn to drive school busses! Who would've ever thought! And the friendship that started in that tiny driving class . . . wow! Having grown up myself in a small southern town, I know how things work, so I wasn't surprised how the bank manager (Donald's father) took the good word of one customer to base his decisions on. You've just GOT to listen to this short audio! You will be better for it!

Splendid!

Didn’t want it to end. Touching story with some truly surprising moments of hilarity and joy.

Touching

Davis always delivers his stories in the first person. His life stories help the listener to live (for the moment) in another era

Five stars

OUTSTANDING!!!!

Donald Davis is the most entertaining storyteller ever. Crying and laughter abound in every story.

Fantastic storyteller

Donald Davis one of the best storytellers. Tells a captivating story, it seems like an almost simplistic terms that you get to know the characters the Heartbeat of the characters and you feel you are there. Entertaining, fun, hanging on every word, plus most the time learn a lesson at the same time

Meh

I got the point of the story but it was very disorganized and all over the place. Also, the delivery was roundabout. However, the audio narration was performed well.
