Nunc Coepi: Now I Begin - A Memoir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218662349)

John "JT" Williams, a young black man growing up on the seamy side of Chicagoland, stood at a crossroads. He figured he had two choices: He could run the streets with others his age and probably wind up behind bars like a caged animal, or he could get an education that led him on a path toward a better life than that endured by his mother and her forebears, the direct descendants of slaves.

He chose the latter. But being a black man living in a predominately white world still presented many challenges and obstacles to overcome.

Join JT on his journey to, if not quite the promised land, a place of productivity and prosperity.
