Notable People of Color - St. Francisville, Louisiana


Book Description

If my story is not told, the history of Notable People of Color will forever be excluded in the history of St. Francisville, La. My presentation may be offensive to some; however, I have chosen to present what has been left out of the many books written by local authors and historians to include the contributions, perspectives, and historical facts regarding Notable People of Color in St. Francisville. It is my intention to share this wealth of information for the sake of inclusion for future generations to follow. During my youth in St. Francisville, People of Color experienced racism at its highest. This book is an attempt to tell the story that although People of Color experienced racism and an educational system of separate and unequal; this did not deter us from moving forward. It was with our dedication to pursue higher education that we, People of Color, moved forward to create excellence both within and beyond the small town of St. Francisville. It is my hope that those who read “Notable People of Color - St. Francisville, La” will understand that my journey was typical of many of my classmates. We were resilient throughout our experiences, and we remained steadfast while enjoying wholesome and rewarding outcomes. Our family and spiritual training received will forever be with us. May Notable People of Color and their contributions forever be included in the history of St. Francisville, and West Feliciana Parish. —Dr. Henry Hardy Author of Notable People of Color - St. Francisville, Louisiana

Breaking Into Soul


Book Description

Blossom Sterling knows she's different. She was born with a veil, a thin membrane that covered her face, and gave her a special gift. But for Blossom, the gift is so much more. It is because of this supernatural inheritance, her life in the small town of Riddle Inn is in stark contrast to that of her peers. Only her closest friends, her inner circle, have been allowed to witness her abilities. She finds a connection to Soul, a Norwood Indian girl, who lives in the backwoods of Bayou Sara, where her paternal grandparents own a farm. Their similarities--and their differences--evoke a power struggle that ultimately defines Blossom's destiny. Breaking Into Soul is a mystical journey that traverses Southern traditions, Native American society, and the ultimate sacrifice of friendship for personal growth.




The Little Way of Ruthie Leming


Book Description

The Little Way of Ruthie Leming follows Rod Dreher, a Philadelphia journalist, back to his hometown of St. Francisville, Louisiana (pop. 1,700) in the wake of his younger sister Ruthie's death. When she was diagnosed at age 40 with a virulent form of cancer in 2010, Dreher was moved by the way the community he had left behind rallied around his dying sister, a schoolteacher. He was also struck by the grace and courage with which his sister dealt with the disease that eventually took her life. In Louisiana for Ruthie's funeral in the fall of 2011, Dreher began to wonder whether the ordinary life Ruthie led in their country town was in fact a path of hidden grandeur, even spiritual greatness, concealed within the modest life of a mother and teacher. In order to explore this revelation, Dreher and his wife decided to leave Philadelphia, move home to help with family responsibilities and have their three children grow up amidst the rituals that had defined his family for five generations-Mardi Gras, L.S.U. football games, and deer hunting. As David Brooks poignantly described Dreher's journey homeward in a recent New York Times column, Dreher and his wife Julie "decided to accept the limitations of small-town life in exchange for the privilege of being part of a community."
