When the Bus Came for Me

Absentee 'Warning' — A childhood divided by desegregation

A childhood memoir about desegregation, memory, fear, and the day a school bus became more than transportation.

When the Bus Came for Me returns to a childhood shaped by desegregation, where a school bus arriving at the curb carried more than children. It is a memoir about fear, dignity, and the memories that never stop pulling up to the corner.
