Description
An enticing story of a young boy growing to become a man. In the city streets of Washington, DC, that young man matures into a gangster. Nothing or no one stands in his way, from love to money, family, and freedom . . . until they do.
In Church and School Days: A Clifton Bullock Story from 1972, the late Clifton Bullock shares the fictional account of a gangster from the early ’70s as he endures the changes and challenges life throws at him. Charlie Green, Bullock’s son, decided to publish his father’s work because he saw a need in the market for books showcasing Blacks in fictional “gangster and mobster” stories that have historically featured predominantly white main characters.
Church and School Days begins while the main character is still a child and follows him into adulthood as he learns what it takes to not only survive but be respected in his community. The story contains themes of self-worth, family, courage, and hard work. While readers will enjoy this novel for the thrill of gangster life in the late ’60s and early ’70s, it is not so much a story about gangsters as it is a story of a man doing whatever it takes to provide for his family.
