Can't We All Just Get Along? (Used Paperback) - Paul E. Dysart

Paul Dysart, Sr. has lived a life filled with experience, both complicated and colorful. The story begins with his family’s move from an all-Black neighborhood in Kansas to a predominately white community in South Dakota. Sioux Falls is where he recalls the many firsts that occurred for him: first Black family to attend the Catholic Church (1946), first Black man to work at John Morrell’s (1964), the first Black Realtor in South Dakota (1978). The story is also comprised of complicated family dynamics: affairs, divorce, prison and pardons.It is in the messy reality that one is able to uncover what is important — the lessons about welcoming family, voicing your truth and sharing love. As Paul often says, “Why can’t we all just get along?”
