"I have had my eyes opened...and my ears, what I've heard; and what I have touched with my hands and what touched me is a fact.... God knows I won't jump back from tellin what I know...." The man who speaks is Nate Shaw at 85, a cotton farmer, born in Alabama in 1885, the son of former slaves, striving from his earliest years to be free and to prosper.
