Preview Colored Memories: A Biographer's Quest for the Elusive Lester A. Walton
Description:
Lester A. Walton was an African American journalist, cultural critic, diplomat, and political activist--an adviser to presidents and industrialists in a career that spanned the first six decades of the twentieth century. In this book, Curtis seeks to discover why Walton is forgotten today. In this unconventional book--a postmodern ghost story, an unprecedented experiment in life-writing--Curtis relates her frustrating search through long-overlooked documents to discover this forgotten man, offering insight into how America's obsession with race has made Walton's story unwelcome. She explores the treachery, duplicity, and archival accidents that transformed a man dedicated to the fulfillment of American democracy into a shadowy figure.
