TITLES BY JANET CHEATHAM BELLThe Time and Place That Gave Me Life Indiana University Press, 2007
In The Time and Place That Gave Me Life, I write about growing up in Indianapolis. Except for the lack of signs that said Colored and White, it felt very much like the Deep South of the era. Racism was everywhere and I include it as a significant presence in this memoir. I am candid and, I hope, provocative as I explain how race and racism impacted and helped shape my life from my birth in 1937 until I left Indiana in 1964. This memoir is not a "downer," however. I also write about the many good times I had, and how I managed to overcome some of the obstacles I encountered. You can also learn a little about Indiana's history since I interweave local history into discussions of my education, my marriage, and conflicts with my parents.
