Three More on Tin is the sequel to Ten on Tin, an autobiography of my growing up in Lynchburg, Virginia during the modern civil rights movement.

Three More on Tin is a collection of experiences that lets you experience the mind of a teenager who deals with life in an "economically challenged" neighborhood.
