About this listen

Step into the untold story of resilience, perseverance, and hope in The Son of a Sharecropper. Author Roger Leaks Jr. takes listeners on an intimate journey through the trials and triumphs of growing up Black in the rural South during the era of segregation, sharecropping, and systemic inequality.

This deeply personal memoir captures the harsh realities of life in the early 20th century, including the struggles of sharecropping families, the impact of Jim Crow laws, and the unyielding spirit of a young boy determined to rise above his circumstances. From heartwarming family moments to the community's collective fight for education and dignity, Roger’s story is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit.

With rich historical context and vivid storytelling, The Son of a Sharecropper sheds light on the overlooked lives of Black sharecroppers and their indelible contribution to American history. This book is not just a memoir it’s a legacy of survival, faith, and the relentless pursuit of a better future.
