N.E.G.R.O.E.S.: Black, Before He Was Anything Else is a powerful coming-of-age historical fiction novel set in 1950s America. It follows 15-year-old Samual Willson, a quiet and observant Black boy born in the backstreets of Chicago. When his family relocates to Mound Bayou, Mississippi-a historic Black-founded town-Samual begins to find friendship, hope, and a sense of belonging. But the fragile peace is shattered after the murder of a local boy, Tommy Carter. When Samual is falsely accused, he is thrust into the harsh realities of racial injustice in the Jim Crow South. Through poetry, protest, and unbreakable bonds of friendship, Samual finds his voice and the strength to rise. A story of resilience, identity, and the fight to be seen, N.E.G.R.O.E.S.: Black, Before He Was Anything Else explores the intersection of race, youth, and resistance. Perfect for readers of historical fiction, social justice narratives, and emotionally driven character stories.
