From Cottonfields To Kingdom : Legacy Of A Mississippi Man To His Children

Bok av Joseph Jones
What Is A Man?? The burning question I pondered during my young adult life. Seeking to give Meaning to my existence, as well as an explanation to my progeny. Growing up in rural Mississippi during the 1960's - 1980's era, proved to be a challenging feat for the common man. The young black men & women I grew up with, appeared lost & confused. In the aftermath of the Vietnam war, Civil Rights Legislation being passed, and the Nation appearing to embrace "Justice and Equality". America gripped in the lingering sorrow and division over the deaths of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, Medgar Evers, Robert Kennedy and many other popular and not so popular "John Doe Jones". So called for those I didn't know, that gave their tears, sweat, blood and lives yet went unnoticed. Slow-cooking and seething in this cauldron of humanity were a people spawned, a "peculiar people" among Whom I reside, "The Kingdom Culture" I like to call them. A people who believe God (YAHVEH) to be the Supernatural Being he says we were made in the image of. As we acknowledge, receive and reflect the resident Spiritual power within us to manifest the Sons Of God throughout the World!!! Peace & Love Always, as we reside in this ETERNAL, NOW!!!
