"Old Men Can Learn, Too" is the story of a father who was born on a sharecropper's farm and came of age during the Great Depression, and his son who was raised in a stable working class home and came of age in the 1960s as a first generation college student and political activist. Their inter-generational conflict over politics and religion, so typical for the time, was painful for both of them. The remarkable healing of their relationship was a joy to both of them.
