Writing Is My Passion

Keith Newman was born the year Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. It was the 1950s, when being called a Communist could ruin one’s livelihood. It was easy to see what issues would affect his life. In the 1960’s, as the author came of age, he watched on Television as Blacks and those who supported them, faced death by bombing, by burning, by assassination, as they campaigned for the right to vote. He watched the nation become divided as the United States entered the Vietnam War with large numbers of American casualties. Exposed to racists like George Wallace, war mongrels like Barry Goldwater, and outright deceit by Richard Nixon; Newman, instead of trusting the adults who ran his world, learned to “Question Authority.” This book is the story of that journey.
