Abstract "In this autobiography, [the author] tells us the events of his life over the past fifty years. It is, too, a brief history of Los Angeles from the turn of the century--certainly, as far as the Negroes in Los Angeles are in the picture"--Preface. Jamaican-born Somerville became a Los Angeles dentist deeply involved in the NAACP.
