How Claude Brown managed to escape the neighborhood, find a job, find his way to night school to earn his high school diploma, learn to play the piano, etc., seems miraculous to me. It was an era of lost lives and grim futures. Those few that managed to escape should be applauded, but for most, it seemed that escape wasn't ever an option.
