Summary:  A brief but impactful glimpse of the horrifying experience of one man born at what seemed to be the wrong time. Being born in Georgia, USA while the Klu Klux Klan threatened any black person simply based on the colour of their skin, Lanier Phillips contemplated his existence and what it all meant. Joining the navy in hopes of finding equality he was devastated to realize his horror continued. Phillips, among other black soldiers, were made to do grunt work and made to eat in a secluded area. When he didn't think it could get any worse, the ship he was on began to sink and he had to make the decision to fight for his life or succumb to all he's ever known. A true story that works to restore faith in humanity as Phillips works to discover a purpose. The remarkable story of honourary Newfoundlander Lanier Phillips, who survived a shipwreck during the Second World War and went on to become a civil rights activist, is told for children in this heartwarming, vibrantly illustrated picture book. A young African American and the son of sharecroppers, Lanier Phillips escapes the violence, racism and segregation of his Georgia home by joining the navy during the Second World War. But tragedy strikes the USS Truxtun one February night off the southeastern coast of Newfoundland, and Lanier is the lone black survivor of the terrible shipwreck. When he arrives onshore, the community's kindness and humanity bring him back to health and change his outlook on life. He went on to march for black rights with Martin Luther King and remained forever grateful to the small town of St. Lawrence, Newfoundland. Genre:  Biography, Juvenile.
