You are about to go on a journey from the middle of the 1920's to the present day. This journey is with a man who tells the story of his life in the deep south of Mississippi. His heart cried to live at the very beginning, to become a grown man. In the pains and suffering he lived through as a teenager, his heart cried to be well and free from the pain. When times got hard in his life, his heart cried out for help. Help me to be considered an ordinary man, his heart would cry. When people lost their hopes and dreams, his heart cried out for changes.
