This non-fiction book, Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream, was written by Dr. Frank L. Douglas. This book details his suffering, adversity, triumph, and achievements. Additionally, this book investigated the author's identity, the political climate in his nation, his academic career, and the racial discrimination he faced in the United States.

In British Guiana, he was born into a low-income household. He struggled to make sense of his existence without the support and affection of his father. He learned as he grew older that in his homeland, outsiders lived like kings, while he and his people were treated as slaves. He decided to change his situation by devoting himself to rigorous study. He was given a scholarship to attend Queen's College as a result of his efforts, and there he was well-equipped for the difficulties that lay ahead. He subsequently received a scholarship to attend Lehigh University in the US. The level of racial tolerance he encountered depressed me as the story went on. From the moment he arrived in the United States, he was treated unfairly. Frank made it clear that he wasn't the only victim of this racial prejudice. His colleagues of different races were treated with a similar attitude. Their grades at the university were affected by their skin tone. They ended up with more semesters than usual as a result of this. If you want to learn more about what he went through and whether he was able to escape the clutches of the awful events he experienced, I'll recommend this book to you.

The book has elements that readers may adore. I liked how the author described what happened. It was very meticulously done. How it brings hope to people who might need it was a topic I adored throughout the novel. I learned from the reading that Frank never gave up on himself. He consistently kept hope alive. He gained knowledge from his past. He was better equipped for the future as a result. The plot was interesting. The book never lost my attention as I read it.

I'm going to award Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream five out of five stars. This is because I didn't come across anything unpleasant while reading the book. It was a good book to read. I encountered no errors. Thus, the book was exceptionally well-edited.

Young adults and expatriates will enjoy this novel. This book would interest avid readers who like reading works that inspire. This book will bring comfort to those who are experiencing discrimination of any kind.
