I enjoyed reading your review. I like the way the authors discussed their ancestry. An autobiography for the upcoming generation to learn about their ancestors and how much the world has changed over time. Sounds like a nice personal achievement to have a record of family history. Thank you for sharing a nice and thoughtful review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting memoir of the author's life as well as an ancestral record of the author's family in order to preserve his story for his descendants. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

I really enjoyed reading your review. The way you described this book makes it sound like a family heirloom. The fact that it was written by a father and son makes it even more special. It's the kind of book that could become a cherished keepsake for generations to come. Writing a book with your son must be a dream come true for a father. Nowadays, kids aren't as interested in the past, so a book like this is really valuable. I wish my father had written a book like this before he passed. The book sounds like an interesting, easy, and quick read. I've added it to my to-read list.

Neil Henry's "I Have Calluses on My Hands," a poignant memoir that reflects on the personal and professional challenges of an African American journalist navigating the difficult terrain of racial identity Through vivid storytelling, Henry blends his experience as a journalist with the broader historical context of race relations in America. The book is not just an insight into her career but takes a deep dive into the emotional and psychological toll of experiencing systemic racism both personally and professionally. Henry’s story is honest and conscientious, allowing readers to clearly confront the strength needed to succeed in an often unforgiving career. His reflections are thought-provoking, shed light on the persistence of racial inequality, and emphasize the importance of tolerance and self-awareness This memoir is a fascinating read for anyone who he's interested in media, ethnicity, and personal development mediation.
