This week I started reading Same of Different As Me by Ron Hall and Denver Moore. It is about Ron Hall, an international art dealer who sells paintings worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in Fort Worth Texas, and Denver Moore, a black man living in Red River Parish, and how they meet and become friends. So far, this is a really great story.
What makes this book amazing is that this is a true story. It's crazy to think that a man who is pretty much a slave and an upper class art dealer would even meet much less become friends. At the time of this non-fiction narrative, it is very uncommon and even bad for a white man to even be talking to a black man. Their friendship could probably get one if not both of them in serious trouble. The fact this this story is true makes Same Kind of Different As Me just that mare unreal.
I read this book too and it really changes my perspective on lower class people like Denver. To me this book shows that you can still have great relationships with people in that class.
