Conyers resident writes about growing up on '50s military bases by Karen Rohr Growing up on U.S. military bases in the 1950s, Bernard N. Lee, Jr. led a distinctly different life from other black children. The military provided an umbrella of protection from the racism pervasive during that time period, Lee said, and it also provided him with experiences that allowed him to successfully navigate adulthood. In his book, "A Look Back in Time: Memoir of a Military Kid in the Fifties," Lee chronicles his life from birth to seventh grade, highlighting those events that most influenced his childhood as he moved from location to location with his father, mother, and three siblings. Lee said he hopes through the stories of life from a child's perspective in the '50s to "show the virtues of tolerance, fairness, perseverance, resilience, and other life serving qualities needed for survival in today's world."
