First published in 1984, Racehoss: Big Emma's Boy is Albert Race Sample's "unforgettable" (The Dallas Morning News) tale of resilience, revelation, and redemption. From being raised by a hard-drinking black prostitute who refused to let her mixed-race son call her Mama to seventeen years of incarceration, many of them spent picking cotton in an all-black prison plantation known as the "burnin' hell," to a profound spiritual awakening in solitary confinement and a new life, Sample's remarkable experiences are shocking, vital, and moving. With new stories that had been edited out of the first edition, a foreword by Texas attorney and writer David R. Dow, and an afterword by Sample's widow, Carol, this new edition of Racehoss: Big Emma's Boy offers a more complete picture of this extraordinary time in America's recent past 600 10 $a Sample, Albert Race, $d 1930- 600 17 $a Sample, Albert Race, $d 1930- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00150046 650 0 $a Criminals $z Texas $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American prisoners $z Texas $v Biography. 650 0 $a Prisons $z Texas $v Case studies. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Criminals & Outlaws. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS $x Child Abuse. $x Child Abuse. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African American prisoners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799317 650 7 $a Criminals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883516 650 7 $a Prisons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077326 651 7 $a Texas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210336 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015650.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A108D510CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
