A German who immigrated to the United States in 1929, Dr. Emanuel H. Bronner was a master chemist who devoted his life to a black man who wasn’t a mush-mouth Negro walking around with his head in his hands all the time. Someone heard the booming voice of a black man and got beneath the bubbles to unearth its subject’s troubled relationship with his Jewish heritage and his insistence on workers dismantling a Rolling Stones’ stage at a stadium in Madrid. What emerges is a complex portrait of a man who wears diapers during the 950-mile road trip to confront a romantic rival. cares more for humanity than for his own children, often left to languish in orphanages while their father scoured bodies and minds.
