Author Phyllis Hogan's new book "The Beginning and End of John Jefferson High School" is a powerful account of the students and staff of John Jefferson High School

PURVIS, Miss., Jan. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Phyllis Hogan, a native of Purvis, Mississippi, with a B.S. degree in social and rehabilitation services from the University of Southern Mississippi, has completed her new book "The Beginning and End of John Jefferson High School: Preserving the History of Success Despite Segregation": a potent and irreverent look at the history of John Jefferson High School and the legacy of its students.

"Battles fought for the education of African Americans have been documented in numerous publications, but in this book, the inside story of victory is told," Hogan writes. "Centuries of struggles throughout American history on land, in blood, and in court have been described in scholarly works by Carter G. Woodson, Fredrick Douglas, Mary McLeod Bethune, John Hope Franklin, and many others noted in the bibliography. But this story of a small, segregated school in Purvis, Mississippi—whose graduates made major contributions throughout the nation—was on the verge of being lost. That is until a teacher assistant at Jefferson-Todd Alternative School was compelled to find the story and tell it."

Published by Page Publishing, Phyllis Hogan's incredible book highlights the many facets of life at John Jefferson High School. Beginning with the school's inception, Hogan expertly crafts an eye-opening view of the school, taking readers on a journey that make them feel as if they too experienced what it was like to walk the halls of such an inspired establishment.
