This book is a missionary journey that explores the experiences of ordinary Black People and White people that were born in Mississippi or lived in Mississippi prior to 1910. It provide a greater understanding of the significant roles that the family, home, church, community, school, town, city, county, state, and region played in shaping the lives of Black slaves and their descendants as well as White slave masters and their descendants.

It unfolds the role that the federal government and Northern Whites played in helping Negroes make the adjustment from slavery to freedom. This book talks about how the Negro Freedmen were caught up in a war between Northern Whites and Southern Whites over who will help the freedmen make these adjustments. It describes how Negroes gained control of the political structure in Mississippi and how they lost it. This book helps Blacks and Whites to look beneath the surface, uncover the past problems and challenges, and plot a promising path for a prosperous future. In order to do this, the readers hear the voices from the souls of ex-slaves and ex-slave masters and their descendants. Toward that end, this book is a conversation from the soul that is held in the arms of God. The conversations reveal the problems and prescribe promising solutions to the problems.

About the Author: The author was born in a shotgun house on the George Dixon plantation in Senatobia, Mississippi. He is the third of eight children born to sharecroppers with limited education and great wisdom. He was trained to perform farm work at the age of five. The activities included: plowing the farmland; chopping cotton; picking cotton; picking and shelling peas; grazing the mules; gathering the cows; milking the cows; feeding the hogs; and maintaining the gardens. The author's first year of schooling was in an old one-room building with one teacher. The one teacher taught eight different grades in the same day at Saint Mary's School in Nesbitt, Mississippi. The author received his elementary and high school education in the segregated public school system of DeSoto County, Mississippi. He graduated as valedictorian of his senior class. He led two major civil rights demonstrations against the school system during his tenure as a student. The author holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry; a Master of Science degree in Organic Chemistry; and a Ph.D degree in Organic Chemistry.
