Author Ivory Simone shares a personal narrative about her family's experiences as black sharecroppers in Texas in a new "Havasu Means Blue Water" e-book Trailer. "One of the reasons I wrote a novel like Havasu Means Blue Water is that the generation of blacks with living memories of many of these events is fast disappearing," the author stated,"It makes it easier for people to distort or revise our histories to suit their agendas. I want some part of the stories I grew up with to be preserved and carried forward so succeeding generations won't forget that there was time when a Black Man had to step into the muddy streets to let a white man, woman or child pass."
The new e-book trailer is available only on the Bangkok Poetry Streams website. Go to:
