A book based on oral history interviews with Samuel Smith, an Antiguan workingman. "I want you to write down exactly what I am telling you. If you do, the people will see how far down in the mud we came from. This generation will take care of what is happening to them. I hope that the day will never come again when our people have to suffer indignity like my generation and others have to. I am here to watch and see until the lord take me home." - Samuel Smith 1877-1982
