It provides deep insight into the racial attitudes and economic conditions that prevailed in post-Reconstruction Louisiana. - Angella Current-Felder, author, Breaking Barriers: An African American Family & the Methodist Story I could feel the story better than most because I had been down some of the same roads Peter Clark traveled, although a hundred years later and under more comfortable circumstances. - Rev. James L. Killen, Jr., author, Pastoral Care in the Small Membership Church We sensed Peter Clarks strength and leadership throughout this very turbulent and racially charged time in our history. He would have been honored to have his life written about with such loving care. - Rev.
