Father And History

Commentator Reynolds Price's father was never went to college, but he had a deep reverence and appreciation for history. The elder Price liked to introduce his son to people whose lives reflected the history of our country, including an "old aunt" who was part Indian and used to be a slave. He also introduced Reynolds to Eleanor Roosevelt and to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.
