Discription:

For a boy growing up in Jamaica in the 1940s, going to school was not a given. Colonialism,
colourism, and classism created educational barriers for anyone who wasn&#8217trich or white.
But from these early struggles, Howard Palmer devoted his career to education, even earning a
PhD.This memoir covers the challenges and joys of Dr. Palmer&#8217life, from his family and
Jamaican upbringing, his immigration to Canada in the 1960s, his lifelong educational pursuits and
raising his daughters after the tragic death of his wife. He also shares his insightful research into
how Ontario&#8217educational system was failing Black boys&#8212fidings that are sadly still
relevant today. By sharing his story, Dr. Palmer hopes to encourage readers to examine their own
personal journeys and gain a deeper understanding of persisting against the odds. My Life is a
thorough, honest, and inspirational story of a Jamaican Canadian man overcoming obstacles
through faith and determination.
