"I wanted to write stories that captured
some of the people and circumstances of growing up in Meridian, Mississippi
during the Civil Rights Movement."
"These Stories Saved My Life" includes four of the
twelve stories that I have had the privilege of recording. Once I
started writing, I realized that I was in a position to speak for everyday
people, who are not recorded in the annals of history."
"This work is a tribute to their spirit and legacy."
