Despite the challenges he faced, Kelly was determined to succeed and eventually moved to the city to attend college. After graduation, he started his own business and became a respected member of his community.Throughout the book, Coleman explores the themes of race, class, and identity, and shows how Kelly's experiences were shaped by these factors. She also provides a detailed look at the history of the South during this time period, including the civil rights movement and the struggle for equality.Overall, One Of Us is a powerful and inspiring story of one man's journey from poverty and discrimination to success and leadership.
