Organized around the life histories, medical struggles, and recollections of Trotter and his thirteen siblings, the story begins in 1914 with his parents. By tracing the family's movement northward after the unexpected death of his father, this engaging chronicle illuminates the journeys not only of a black man born with heart disease in the southern Appalachian coalfields, but of his family and community. This testament to the importance of ordinary lives fills a gap in the literature on an underexamined aspect of American experience: the lives of African Americans in rural Appalachia and in the nonurban endpoints of the Great Migration"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Memories of Parents and Places -- Troubled Waters of Vallscreek -- The Newcomers -- New Lease on Life -- Life on the Avenue/Bitter and Sweet -- Navigating Heart Disease as a Teenager -- College and Career -- The Struggle Continues. 600 10 $a Trotter, Otis, $d 1954- 600 10 $a Trotter, Otis, $d 1954- $x Family. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American families $v Biography. 650 0 $a Heart $x Patients $x Patients $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a West Virginia $v Biography. 651 0 $a Ohio $v Biography. 651 0 $a Appalachian Region, Southern $v Biography. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Migration, Internal $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / African American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Regional Studies. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Trotter, Joe William, $d 1945- $e author of introduction. 830 0 $a Ohio University Press series in race, ethnicity, and gender in Appalachia. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826040111.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D80C77346B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
