I find that this inspired me to be a better person. Howard could not get his traveler checks cashed because of his color but he persevered and never gave up and got them cashed and was able to keep his study alive. This was a big book that described the struggles in the mid 1900"tms. This is not accepted now but it still exists because of immature people. (5)I think that the story accomplishes a lot.
