Piccolo Is Black: A Memoir of Race, Religion, and Pop Culture

Part homage to the characters Calhoun identified with and loved, part celebration of the pop culture—television, movies, music, video games—that influenced his childhood, Piccolo Is Black: A Memoir of Race, Religion, and Pop Culture is an honest, thought-provoking, and often hilarious coming-of-age memoir that celebrates Black identity in America.
