Bibliography Includes bibliographical references.
Summary Explores "the experiences, family, and struggles of Ed Scott Jr. (born in 1922), a prolific farmer in the Mississippi Delta and the first-ever nonwhite owner and operator of a catfish plant in the nation ... [who] provides an example for economic mobility and activism in a region of the country that is one of the nation's poorest and has one of the most drastic disparities in education and opportunity, a situation especially true for the Delta's vast African American population"--Page 4 of cover.
