    About this ebook

    Come with me on a journey back to March 1961. The days of uncertainty, fear, and determination are outlined in a day by day experience. Yesteryear was where it started, in terms of remembrances. Today, there is an urgency to redirect the "thinking" to self- understanding, directions and possibilities!!!! I am excited about my mission and being a part of this emerging "mind-set"!!! Goal: enlighten "nationally" and direct the re-education close to our roots! We can move forward, but we must look back seeing from where we came; assess where we are on the road to making the trip of full appreciation by taking a part of the process and making it a personal quest and journey!

This happened before any other Mississippi Civil Rights Group and it was successful!!! The story about the Tougaloo Nine is vital, creditable and documented, If you don’t know your history, you are destined to repeat it

      The Tougaloo Nine are not well known possibly because, of being successful. Then, Gov. Ross Barnett made such a big deal when the Freedom Riders came along to keep success from happening. This attempt downplayed the glorious results of the Nine’s successful intervention. The Nine were put in a forgotten state from the remembrances of acknowledgment. Thus, ascertaining that the Nine are not included as civil Rights veterans. Surely the Nine, should be Acknowledged. The fact of opening the door of integration of the White-only Library successfully in the state is documented. The Nine are Civil Rights Advocates by the fact of what was done and when. As it stands, the Nine made a difference. The event,
