Marsh grew up in a black neighborhood on the west side and Daniels grew up in a mixed\, working-class neighborhood on the east side. Both saw their city and their world transform around them through the Civil Rights movement\, riots\, and the Vietnam War. \nAs each man tells his story\, it is apparent that race isn’t just black and white but is part of what makes their friendship extraordinary. While race made for huge differences in their experiences\, there are also touching similarities that made it possible for two men\, in their older years\, to overcome their upbringing to become lifelong friends. Meet both authors\, hear their story and be inspired.

But it did shape the way they experienced the world growing up in Detroit in the 1950s and 60s. Tom “Cookie” Marsh grew up in a black neighborhood on Detroit’s west side. Tom Daniels grew up in a mixed\, working-class neighborhood on Detroit’s east side. \nBoth men grew up in strict households where they “always got what we needed\, and sometimes what we wanted” and both saw their city\, their country\, and their world transform around them through the Civil Rights movement\, riots\, and the Viet Nam War. \nBut sometimes parallel lines intersect. \nAs each man tells his story\, it is apparent that race isn’t just “black and white” but it is part of what makes their friendship extraordinary. Their experiences will show you that race made for huge differences in their experiences\, while\, in spite of race\, there are also touching similarities that made it possible for two men\, in their older years\, to overcome decades of racial turbulence of their upbringing to become lifelong friends. \nFollow Tom and Cookie. Hear about their lives\, their upbringing\, their successes and regrets growing up in black and white Detroit – and how when it boils down to it\, the things that are truly important are actually black and white\, like you and me.
