Loved your book I am of this era but lived in the segregated north Chicago We started in Bronzeville built up this area
only to try and move to another area that was blocked by whites and the mayor decided to build the high rise or project to
contain us in one area Yes we experienced racist but not like you. Dr King said this city was the most defied he had ever
been in Please continue the struggle for it is not over by the way I am 70 years old glad to relive something not to be forgotten |

Hello Mr. Stokes, while researching Rev. Goodwin Douglas and the civil rights movement in Farmville, VA, I came across an
announcement about one of your speaking engagements. My paternal grandmother was Estelle Stokes, born in Amelia, Va. in 1888.
Her father was Merchant Stokes and her mother was named Georgianna. She had brothers named John and Oscar (both deceased).
Her brother John settled in Richmond and Oscar in Pittsburgh. The home church is Bethia Baptist in Amelia. Might we be related
in any way?
In August, I will convene a forum to teach young people about the 1960's movement. Your story will be most helpful.
Blessings to you. |

I dont understand...How a man so powerful and has so much knowledge could basically hide his illegitimate daughter and has
never actually meet her or seen her in her adult life. You did pay child support,secretly. Your children have never met their
sister. All this power and you never thought of growing a relationship with your daughter! Every girl needs a dad. Whether
a little girl or adult. Do you ever wonder what i look like? or how never ever meeting you has probably affected my life??
Think about that one day...evem though you paid child support. Maybe it would have been nice to meet my half brother and sister.
God Bless!! |

This book has put us back in touch with a vital part of our African American Heritage. It serves as a firm reminder of how
racial injustices can affect the lives of people who were oppressed and have been denied the right to an equal education in
America. Prayerfully, this book will speak to many who will not allow this to happen again in our time. |

I am a first grade teacher at Phyllis E. Williams, and have to commend Mr. Stokes on his speech today! We held two assemblies
at our school -- one for primary (1st - 3rd) and one for intermediate (4th- 6th).
Mr. Stokes was relatable to the students and gave them clear examples to help them understand segregation as well as the part
that he and others played in making America an equal place for all.
Easily approachable, the students felt instantly at ease with him and comfortable enough to ask questions.
My first graders even ran up to Mr. Stokes and gave him big bear hugs to thank him for including them in a demonstration!
I would HIGHLY reccomend inviting him out to speak at any venue, to any age group. :-) |

Mr. Stokes,
I met you at the Arkansas Curriculum Conference. I talked to my uncle about meeting Maya Angelou and here is what he would
like for you to do. If you will send him your book autographed to Maya, he will take it to her and make the arrangements.
He is interested in reading it himself.
His name is Dr. Edwin G. Wilson
The address is 3381 Timberlake Lane
Winston-Salem, NC 27106. If you would send him a brief letter as to your upcoming schedule that would help in getting this
meeting with Maya.
He is Provost Emeritus Professor of English Emeritus of Wake Forest University. He is 87 years old and still as sharp as
a tack. We talked at length about you and he is very interested in your story. I think he can arrange for the meeting with
Maya Angelou. I have read the book and love it. It will become a part of my teaching. I am proud you saw "Jack" in me.
That is a great honor. |

Thank you for our dinner out and the interesting conversation. On Thursday, March 19th, your presentation to our students
at the Adult Learning Center for Charlottesville City Schools had a profound impact, not only on my students, but on me as
an educator for many years. As a child of the Civil Rights Movement in my hometown of Suffolk, Virginia, especially during
the years (1966-1971), I have come to realize that I need to tell my story. I wish you God's blessings in future writings. |
