Fact Stranger than Fiction by John Patterson Green ~ Full Audiobook [biography]

Fact Stranger than Fiction by John Patterson Green audiobook. Genre: biography In Fact Stranger than Fiction, John Patterson Green tells the story of his first seventy-five years, tracing a path from his childhood in New Bern, North Carolina, through a formative move to Cleveland, Ohio, and into a life spent fighting for education, professional standing, and public service in a country shaped by the color line. Part memoir, part social history, and part collection of vivid recollections, Green sketches the people and places that formed him, from integrated classrooms and hard early jobs to law school, the courtroom, and the rough-and-tumble world of Republican politics after the Civil War. As an African American attorney and officeholder, he confronts the daily realities of prejudice while building a career that takes him from the Reconstruction-era Carolinas back to Cleveland, where his ambition leads to the Ohio legislature and beyond. Along the way, Green offers portraits of notable acquaintances, behind-the-scenes glimpses of civic life, and reflections meant to serve as encouragement to young Black readers striving for opportunity. Frank, energetic, and often surprising, this is a firsthand account of persistence, politics, and the making of a public life.
