Author Clarence Freeman Releases O.U.C.H!

- Feb 4, 2014
While outright racism has never ceased to exist in the modern American society, neither did the humor that was a means of coping with it. Re-examining the lives of African Americans who carried the burden of being free men in a society still unable to totally accept the fact, the Virginian Clarence E. Freeman presents a witty but balanced account of federal racism and compartmentalization in a refreshingly different perspective with 'O.U.C.H! Our Unwelcome Colored Help'. It is about his experience of bigotry in the workplace through long years at his job in the Quality Control and Methods Engineering Branches, Planning Administrative Division, Supply Department, Naval Air Station, Norfolk, Virginia.
