As part of the ongoing series “Living with Jim Crow”, here is the first part of my interview with my uncle, former police officer, Navy veteran, and AME Zion Paster, Reverend Ray Owens, Sr.

Reverend Owens shares his experiences growing up in the deep South during the Jim Crow era of the 1950s and 1960s.

In Part 1 he speaks about his experience as a youth as well as guidance from his elders.

Here in my special series, we understand that Jim Crow is a crucial part of our history. It’s important we get those stories told so we never forget. |THIS ENT
