Alien in the Delta ( 2 book)

Alien in the Delta by Thankful Strother is a memoir of notable events and observations from the author's life. It is a short, yet entertaining book which gives readers a glimpse into a particular period of American history.

Alien in the Delta is a memoir highlighting events over thirty-five years, starting with my earliest memory growing up as a poor boy in the rural, segregated south in the ’50s. After graduating from high school joined the United States Air Force stationed at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany for four years. While there, I learned to speak the language and met my wife. We returned to the USA and started a family in Detroit, Michigan. I obtained a job as an assembly line inspector at Ford Motor Company, attending school at night and weekends studying computer programming. Upon completion of my studies, I went to work as a computer programmer for NCR Corporation. This opportunity led to a career in sales and management with both NCR and AT&T Corporation.

This book was written based on stories that I had told my daughter while growing up. Before writing the book, I spent a year finding out about my ancestors. I felt this was an excellent time to write about what had happened in my life and include additional information about my family.

The Soldier - Alien in the Delta

I love my country, The United States of America. But I discovered at an early age that my country did not like me. I had to leave the USA and live in Germany to find equality.

After completing Air Force basic training, six buddies, four white and two black young men from Detroit headed back home on the train. Someplace in Texas, the train stopped so that we could stretch our legs and get a snack. We were all dressed in our pristine, new blue uniforms, proudly representing the United States Air Force. All of us got off the train and went into the restaurant to get something to eat. Before we sat down, the waiter said as he looked at our black faces. "We can't serve you in here. You will have to go out back to order and pick up your food."

Segregation was legal in the southern United States in 1962. Born and raised in the South, I had experienced discrimination before, but this time it hurt me deeply because I was dressed in my US Air Force uniform and was prepared to die for our country, and yet my fellow countryman still would not serve us. No one should ever have to experience that kind of treatment! We just got back on the train without eating and sat in silence.

We began basic training as six buddies from Detroit. When we returned, we had experienced very different treatment from the same country that we had pledged to give our lives for if necessary. Because of that experience, I discovered my country did not like me. However, I still loved the USA!

The Soldier - Alien the Delta is the second book in the series. The short stories are compelling, thoughtful, and humorous about various experiences in the US Air Force, international travel, romance, and interracial marriage.

The Alien in the Delta Series by Thankful Strother is about the author's life as a poor black boy growing up in the Delta. The three book series represent different periods. They include The Child, The Soldier, and The Adult.
