Thank You for Visiting My Website

I am Freddie Jones, author, and self-publisher of several books under the name “Great-Grandson of A Slave”. I was inspired to publish my Life Journey, which connects my family to slavery, racial injustices, and my abscond from the slave-like plantation in Georgia, through several corporations, Vietnam, entrepreneurship, youth after-school training advocate, and to retirement as a Vietnam Service-Connected Disabled Veteran. 

Although I faced many challenges and obstacles that were caused by racial injustices, the advice of my mother and grandfather empowered me with determination and courage to succeed. I am blessed with a beautiful family and had a successful and rewarding career. In doing so, understanding my family’s connection to slavery and racial injustices allowed me to navigate my journey to Success Against All Odds.

I hope my story inspires readers to publish their stories and become advocates for getting more true stories about slavery, history, and racial injustices into homes for family discussion at the kitchen table.
