Book excerpt: 3/5 of a Man is about Adam Harris and his early childhood years growing up in the Jim Crow south. It is about separate but unequal school systems. It is about being an Army brat and the differences and advantages afforded by the U.S. Army as opposed to local southern governments that displayed Colored Only facilities. 3/5 of a Man is about the high school and college years that shaped the political and social viewpoints of Adam Harris. It is about activism and seeking to improve the lives of minorities in the surrounding campus and community. 3/5 of a Man is about Harris' 25-year journey through the U.S. Navy, an organization that trained, educated, embraced, rewarded, lifted up, and ultimately said thank you for your service to a retiring Commander.
