About the Book

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." Charles Dickens The fascinating memories skillfully written on these pages, like annals of time, vividly describe varying groups of people who share a distinct neighborhood and a sole purpose in life...survival. Growing up in "Olde Huntersville," an African American segregated section of Norfolk, Virginia in the 1940's and 1950's resembled neighborhoods across America. Everybody knew everybody. From skin hues of light cream to dark chocolate and ages ranging from newborns to great-great grandparents; we had African American teachers, lawyers, doctors, truck drivers, ditch diggers, and domestic workers---all living next door to one another; each household respected for how strong they loved and consistently provided for their families all the while supporting their community. A skirmish might break out on a Saturday night after a game of cards and too much drink, however, a cool-headed neighbor would bring a word of peace and all was well again. It was a place where childhood friends remained friends for a lifetime. It was where students met weekly in a classroom and sang in the same church choir on Sunday. Our goal was simple ---we just had to make sure we stayed on the dark side of Norfolk. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..."
About the Author: Reverend Dr. James Edwards, III, is a native of Norfolk, Virginia and presently resides in Chesapeake, Virginia. He has lived in the Tidewater area of Virginia his entire life, except for the three years he served in the United States Army, as an Airborne Infantry Officer. He served in the Republic of Vietnam for twelve months wherein he was awarded several medals, including two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts. Reverend Dr. Edwards is a graduate of Norfolk State University (1969), Samuel DeWitt School of Theology, Virginia Union University (1988), and Norfolk Theological Seminary and College (2010). He was inducted into Norfolk State's Military Hall of Fame in 1998 and into it prestigious Academy of Distinguished Alumni in 2010. He is also the visionary for its War Memorial, which was dedicated in 2008, after twenty-six years of his tireless effort, spearheading support for the vision. Reverend Dr. Edwards has been married to his childhood sweetheart for fifty-four years and is the father of four daughters. He has ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He is a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. and served for eight years as Chaplain of the Third District (Virginia and Washington, DC). He is also a life member of Norfolk State University Alumni Association, member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, member of the Military Alumni Chapter of Norfolk State University and life member of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. In 2015 he co-authored a book with his wife, Reverend Dee and "knee baby" daughter, Reverend Donita Edwards entitled "Then There Were Three."
