Autorenporträt

The author is a retired U.S. Marine working on his second project that focuses on his neighborhood Warwick Lawns, which was the first African American neighborhood on the Virginia peninsula. He has elected to highlight distinguished individuals from the neighborhood presenting the military, civil servants, doctors, educators, musicians, and professional athletes, to name a few. Additionally, he talks about life growing up in a neighborhood that was constructed back in the corner of Denbigh for Black military families that couldn't reside in the predominately White areas in the 1950s.
