The Good Ole' Days - good for some, not so much for othersDiving deep into the culture of the 1950’s, the Potato Patch tells the story of the Williams family, who despite the challenges of being ‘colored’, their family was not much different than any other family during that time. History speaks of Rosa Parks not giving up her seat on the bus, Jackie Robinson a pioneer in Baseball, and Thurgood Marshall a Supreme Court Justice. The Potato Patch goes deeper as we find out how others in the Black community participated in the Montgomery Boycott, uncovered the hypocrisy of baseball with the Negro Leagues, and the injustice of the long unfulfilled Brown vs. the Board of Education that kept schools separate despite the winning verdict.Road trips, In-Laws, Christmas gatherings, fights, friends, family and food, are all part of The Potato Patch during a time when the "N" word cut like a knife, but it did not define the goals and aspirations of family where God came first and Education was the key to a better life. The Potato Patch is filled with romance, love, music, and fun. Go to ElonEnam.org for a playlist of songs to transport you to the 1950's.
