About This Book

"Boston Boy is Nat Hentoff's memoir of growing up in the Roxbury section of Boston in the 1930s and 40s. As he grapples with anti-Semitism, he develops a passion for outspoken journalism and First Amendment freedom of speech. He discovers his love of jazz and gets to know the great jazz artists of the day, Duke Ellington and Lester Young among others."--BOOK JACKET.
