From the large to the small, and from the ordinary and everyday to the remarkable, Snippets of Truths recalls a wide array of eventsliving on a farm, working in the fields, attending school, participating as a majorette, becoming homecoming queen, making homemade ice cream, and creating dolls out of Coca Cola bottles.
Providing a glimpse into life in the South, Snippets of Truths communicates the nostalgia that resides within each and every one of us.
I remember the day when the world was told that President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated as if it was yesterday. Everything and everyone came to a sudden and silent halt. It was as if the world had ended. I was sitting at my desk in a Mississippi history class with twenty-five other students. Our teacher was standing near the chalkboard, sharing historical information with the class. If we were talking at all, we stopped. After a while, we continued our class discussion, but with focus on the president.
