In her autobiography, Rosetta Chatman Davis describes her difficult life growing up in the Fifties and Sixties on a farm in Greeleyville, South Carolina. Rosetta gives detailed family history from slavery to freedom, and through the Depression and World War II. Many of their experiences will bring you to tears. This is not just another "Down South" story, but a success story of a Black family who prayed and persevered through the injustice of sharecropping, 'Jim Crow' laws, predjudiceness and tough times. All they had to depend upon was their faith in God and their ability to work hard. Rosetta was born prematurely in 1947 and was not expected to live, but God had other plans and a purpose for her life. At age ten Rosetta and her siblings, were forced to worked alongside their parents in the fields, planting and harvesting cotton and tobacco. Rosetta's God-fearing parents demanded that she and her siblings take advantage of the education that was available to them; and each one enjoyed successful lives and careers after leaving South Carolina and moving to New York City and Connecticut and New Jersey. Rosetta graduated from high school in Greeleyville South Carolina in 1965. After moving to New York City, she attended Hunter Secretarial School and later studied Early Childhood Development at Lehman College in Bronx, New York. She has enjoyed a successful career of Federal Government service working for the United States District Court and the Veteran's Administration. Rosetta's passion and calling is studying God's word and teaching young children. Rosetta has been teaching the Bible to children and adults for over forty years. Rosetta is currently teaching in the Children's Ministry Department at Church of the Revelation in Bronx, New York, and serves as leader of the Intercessory Prayer Ministry.
