From the segregated Stratton High School in Beckley, West Virginia, to the prestigious Howard University in Washington, DC, to years of law enforcement in our nation's capital, Bill Ritchie has found himself a member of the Sons of the American Revolution. We have often asked, how? And why? Throughout his book A Black Man's Journey to the Sons of the American Revolution, he answers these questions for us.
-Belva Williams Waller, matriarch of the Ritchie Family.
Bill Ritchie's fascinating journey from rural mountains in West Virginia to celebrated track all-American at Howard University, to chief of detectives in the nation's capital and his many other successful pursuits is an inspiring study of determination, creativity, and perseverance. His book, A Black Man's Journey to the Sons of the American Revolution, candidly provides a fleet-footed but comprehensive look at a renaissance man still blazing new and interesting paths. -Rock Newman, sports and music entrepreneur, executive producer, and host of The Rock Newman Show, former Howard University Trustee.
You have a fascinating history! Can't wait to read the book.
-Sari Horwitz, author and reporter, recipient of four Pulitzer Prize awards
By William O. Ritchie Jr
