The Metamorphosis of Frank Benson Jones

Frank Benson Jones has been a youth who lived in the segregated South but who was ignorant of racism and accepted it as the norm. He became a military pilot who worked on a top-secret CIA project in Vietnam, a pilot for United Airlines, the managing editor of the Black Panther newspaper and Deputy Minister of Information for the Black Panther Party, an embezzler and a forger, an orthodox Muslim, and now a nonconformist minister of the Gospel. The many phases of his life have caused him to morph from being an angry black militant into an introspective Christian reformer.
