Tell Them We Were Rising is a collection of biographies describing various individuals of color from Nashville and the surrounding region, who experienced slavery and went on to live compelling lives. Along with details of their family backgrounds, their struggles and triumphs are often related in their own words. A series of intimate and vivid accounts, extending from slavery to what were once the fleeting possibilities of Reconstruction, reveal the nuances of slavery and race from the perspective of individual lives. There is the history of a girl who was able to save her family by bearing the children of her former master, There are the writings of a young woman who used her musical ability to help establish a university, and the remarkable narrative written by an old man about the plantation where he had lived as a boy. There is the small, uneducated man who eventually led hundreds of people to what he saw as a land of greater opportunity, and the young man who escaped brutality and became a leading figure in the Underground Railroad. There is the man who was brought from Africa to America as a slave, and who ultimately gave rise to generations of architects and engineers. There is the family that included a betrayed West Point cadet, a notable government official, and individuals who found success in a wide range of different arenas. And along with an educator who taught black children to read and write long before it was legal, there is a beloved and iconic physician, there are dynamic businessmen, and there are ministers who worked tirelessly on behalf of their community. Taken together, the arcs of those lives illuminate a period that is often so generalized that it becomes difficult to see. Those whose voices are heard in Tell Them We Were Rising not only talk about curse of slavery, and about Reconstruction and Jim Crow, they speak about the journey they were on, and the destination they expected their people to eventually reach.

The Tigerbelles tells the epic story of the 1960 Tennessee State University all-Black women's track team, which found Olympic glory at the 1960 games in Rome. The author tells a story of desire, success and failure--of beating the odds--against the backdrop of a changing America, but tells it in an intimate way. Readers will come to know the individuals' unique struggles and triumphs, while also understanding how these dreams emerged and solidified just as the country was struggling to leave the Jim Crow era behind. Coach Edward Temple pushed each team member to the limit and saw the possibilities in them that they often did not see themselves. The elite group of talent included Wilma Rudolph, Barbara Jones, Lucinda Williams, Martha Hudson, Willye B. White and Shirley Crowder: women who once were and should still be known world-wide. Ultimately the team's drive was for more than medals: Coach Temple and the Tigerbelles wanted to change the world's perception of what a group of young Black women in the Jim Crow south were capable of. Tigerbelles is a multi-layered inspirational tale of triumph over adversity. Based on memoirs and interviews with surviving team members, including Coach Temple, this is the story of an impossible dream come true.
