Honey Island:  A Broadcaster's Search for His Mississippi Roots

 

Honey Island

Come along with veteran broadcast journalist Julius Hunter as he journeys to the Mississippi delta where he searches against major obstacles to find his family's roots. In Honey Island you'll find how Hunter's great-great grandfather - born a slave in 1825 - overcame the scars of bondage to become a prosperous landowner who was able to buy one parcel of land in 1886 for $1000 cash! 

All profits from sales of the book will be donated to the Julius K. Hunter & Friends African American Research Collection in the Special Collections department of St. Louis County Library. This exciting book is available at many book stores in the St. Louis metro area.
