From childhood foot races to lost friendships, from cotton fields to football fields, from third Wednesdays of October to last years of graduate school, from first loves to happily-ever-afters, and from one case of racial injustice to the next, experience what life was like for a young Max Parker as he grows up in the American south. The harrowing aftermath of Reconstruction and the oncoming "conclusion" of Jim Crow, the Emmitt Till era and the Civil Rights movement, and the election of Barack Obama and the Black Lives Matter protests provide instrumental backdrops as he grows from a child to an educator, an academic, and a family man. Stand by him as he fights against racism at the potato grader, in his previously segregated new church, and even while going for a bike ride with an old friend. Root for him as, experience by experience-from the daily to the extraordinary-he eventually removes the masks that had both protected him and held him back from becoming 100% his authentic self. In The Mask-Wearing Journey of Sweet Papa T: Why African American Men Hide Their Feelings , Dr. Parker recounts key moments throughout his life where he thought "masking" was unfortunately necessary. What would have happened had he not worn masks? When did he realize masking was not the answer? How does it feel to live a life free of masks? Vivid with detail, lush with emotion, and rich with history, Dr. Parker's story has all of these answers and more.
