The Black Man of Happiness: In Pursuit of My Unalienable Right
by Peter J. Harris

“… brilliant … beautiful …funny … moving … [a book] to change people by working on something even deeper than anger: their inner joy, their love of life!”

Peter J. Harris’ jazzy journal is full of unique, dynamic stories that range in scope from Thomas Jefferson’s era to the Digital Age in search of answers to the simple, startling question, What is a happy Black man? In powerful, poetic essays Harris explores his journey from childhood in Southeast D.C. to adulthood as a nationally published writer, educator, and respected cultural worker in LA.
