Publisher's Synopsis
Watermelons for Sale is a collection of thought provoking African American poetry that speaks to the soul of every human being and examines the atrocities of slavery, Jim Crow laws, racial profiling, and the resilience of a people determined to overcome oppression and rise above every challenge. A native of South Carolina, Lisa Roberts grew up in the rural South. In spite of the challenges she faced as a person of color, she cherishes her rich African American heritage, which is evident in her book Watermelons for Sale.
