This was a quick, engaging read. Clemmons tells his compelling life story in straightforward prose. It's much more than the Mr. Rogers stuff (which is of course interesting--it sounds like they had a very special relationship despite the sadness about Fred insisting that Francois stay in the closet if he was going to be on the show) but also a memoir of being a queer Black person in the 60s and his involvement with the civil rights movement, a different POV than other civil rights memoirs. also includes some moderately spicy talk of his unconventional open-ish marriage.
