"Autobiography of a Black Man: Run Charlie Run Run Ed Run " by Herbert J. Dixon is a remarkable story that began with two black brothers who killed a white man in Georgia. They escaped to Missouri, changing their names and leaving family behind. When the law closed in on them, they fled to California, where they lived out their lives.

As the third generation in line from the brothers, the author based this book on stories told by his grandparents-life stories of a poor family. He also describes his own life from his childhood to adulthood-from the fields to the US Navy. He refers to this work as a black man's Grapes of Wrath...and Charlie and Ed started it all
