Lorraine Johnson-Coleman
Description
So proclaims Lorraine Johnson-Coleman in this heartwarming collection of stories and essays. Returning to the cotton fields, tobacco barns, and humble

The stories she brings together in Just Plain Folks -- stories of the sort that have made her a standout among the regular contributors to National Public Radio's Morning, Edition -- reveal folk culture as a continuum, a vital link to the past that can illuminate the experience of African Americans today.
