Recent release "Lift Every Voice… and Think" from Page Publishing authors Darryl R. Adams and Mamie M. Jefferson is an evocative compilation of poems, thoughts, and spirituality from the view of an African American family that spans seven decades, from Kennedys' assassination to the Black Lives Matter movement.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Darryl R. Adams and Mamie M. Jefferson, the late mother and son, have completed their posthumously published book, "Lift Every Voice… and Think": an inspiring legacy of strength, perseverance, and hope for modern readers. Darryl R. Adams, a beloved father, grandfather, and educator who taught high school for thirty-five years and served well past retirement on the Norwalk-LaMiranda School Board as the longest-serving member in the district's history, and Mamie M. Jefferson, a mother of eight who left the sharecropping life of the South in the late '50s for a fresh start in California, where she earned her high school diploma, enrolled in college and nursing school to become an LVN, and worked at the VA Hospital in Palo Alto, California, until her retirement, after which she remained active in Shiloh Baptist Church in Vacaville until her passing in 1996.
"Lift Every Voice…and Think" is a journey of the Jefferson family who entered the 1950s as sharecroppers to emerge this century as professional, thought-provoking individuals who have tasted the American dream and want more of it- not only for themselves but also for all Americans who believe they can make a difference. This three-generation journey spans seven decades of thoughts and reflections from JFK to Black Lives Matter. Their thoughts on police brutality, civil rights, women's rights, spirituality, love, and admiration for family and friends are but a few of the topics. Black on Black crime, drug use, the Holocaust, and the treatment of African American women are also on the menu. Join this family as through their poems, essays, or comments, you, too, will find and lift your voice and think.
