Author’s Biography:
Bobby Dan Cobbs is in the fourth generation of sharecroppers from Spring Hill, Alabama. Small farms are a lost way of growing their own food and raising their meat. When he left Alabama and moved to the city, he learned that he was different from city blacks; he talked differently and looked different, coming from the farm. They laughed at the way he talked and his Southern accent and thought that he was slow, stupid, and downright backward. He became a shadow.
He now lives in Maryland, and he wrote this book to remind America about her forgotten children who worked in the fields so they could have food on their tables. He hoped America would read his book and remember the sharecroppers. When integration came to Spring Hill, Alabama, and pushed the sharecroppers into towns and cities, they became a community of shadows.
