Produktinformationen zu „My Ancestral Voices / Rushmore Press LLC (ePub)“

Dr. Joice Christine Bailey Lewis wrote My Ancestral Voices at the age of seventy-four. She tells stories about people and events that occurred in the Alabama community where her ancestors lived for five generations. Dr. Lewis uses autobiographies and biographies to describe events by details and dialogue that are either true, assumed, or plausible. Dr. lewis, a member of the fifth generation, tells how she drew strength from the historical accounts of survival of people through slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, racial segregation, educational inequality, sharecropping, the civil rights movement, the Second World War, Northern and Western Diaspora, and her ancestors beating great odds to succeed in landowning and community development and in the fields of medicine, law, education, and business.

The Holly Springs Missionary Baptist Church was erected by the first generation of ancestors who were all freed slaves. It is still in service to the community of Romulus (Ralph) Alabama. The church stands as a monument to its members, who rose up from slavery to create a lasting legacy of hope, love, and family.

Autoren-Porträt von Joice Christine Bailey Lewis

During the Jim Crow era in Alabama, African American children were told by their parents and teachers that they had to be "ten times better than their white counterparts just to stay even." Striving to be ten times better became the standard behavior for Joice Lewis, who achieved success with ten times fewer resources and against ten times greater odds. What sustained her during the most difficult times was the evidence that her people had survived the hardships faced during two periods of slavery: the enslavement of Africans and the era of sharecropping. Raised on a sharecropping farm, she was a gifted learner who had no money to go to college. Joice Lewis, nevertheless, found a way to achieve a doctoral degree at prestigious universities and experience success as a top-level educator. She was married to her high school sweetheart until his passing for sixty-two years.
