The History Of People Must Be Told To Their Children. Each Child Who Is Born Into A Family Has An Oral And Written History Which We Should Present To Our Children And Not Hide It Under A Bushel. This Book Is A Sequel To Cultural Gumbo Our Roots Our Stories And A Diary Of Lettie’S Daughter. I Have Used My Family Members To Tell The Stories Because I Can Trace Their Footsteps Through Oral And Documented Tradition And History.
