DON'T HOLD ME BACK: MY LIFE AND ART
Published by Cricket Books (now out of print)
written and illustrated by WINFRED REMBERT
“Don’t Hold Me Back” is a book families can read together. The youngest will enjoy the colorful, detailed illustrations, elementary school children will see themselves in the young boy setting up a toy shop in his back yard, and teens will understand the excitement of “doll’s head” baseball, dancing with friends at “Bubba Duke and Feet’s Café,” and the desire to confront authority. In this first person account, American history before and during the Civil Rights struggle comes to life.
Winfred Rembert, born in 1945 in Americus, Georgia, presently resides in New Haven, Connecticut.
