[ 4.0 stars ] "This book was both informative and entertaining. Piedmont was a vibrant self contained community. The residents were rich in spirit. I had fun reading the book. I laughed out loud so many times I lost count. Reading the book, I felt like I was in Gates' family living room listening to these stories. It was enlightening when Gates talked about the shift from being colored to being black and w ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "A person has infinite memories from their life, so when writing a memoir which ones do you include? In Henry Gates' memoir, Colored People, I thought his choices were effective but also ineffective. Some flashbacks deter from the topic Gates is talking about and confuses the reader.

[ 5.0 stars ] "One of the best books and has a favorite place in my library.

[ 4.0 stars ] "Colored People, a memoir by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., is certainly a story worth telling. Set in the 1950s and 1960s, Gates depicts his childhood in the small town of Piedmont, West Virginia. Much of the content relies on the description of author's extended family, the Colemans and the Gates, to depict the significance of family ties in a time period of strained desegregation. While the copious ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "I admit, I only bought this book to make a political statement in support of Professor Gates after the incident with Cambridge Police last summer (and I bought it half price at a used book store because I didn't need to make that much of a statement). I hoped for a well-told memoir with insight into the life of someone who grew up in a much different way than I did, and Professor Gates really ..." Courtesy by Amazon
