So, on this soul se arching journey, my family and I experienced trouble. The kind of trouble that led me to the police station…
Happy Mother’s Day
Growing up, I heard this phrase, “Give people their flowers while they’re living.” My mother, Betty J. Pinchon, has a green thumb! She loves flowers, so my husband and I enjoyed picking out the perfect flowers for her. Then, our three girls arranged them on the flower stand just before we surprised her. To be […]
A Soul Searching History Lesson: Change is in The Eye of The Beholder (Part 3)
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 As I listened to Mrs. Jefferson’s accounts of 1963, I wanted to skip the parts of history that made me uncomfortable. You know the parts that I’m referring to, right? The parts that include Commissioner Bull Conner giving orders to his police department to use firehoses and attack dogs […]
Happy Thanksgiving
While it is true, Thanksgiving isn’t a “religious” holiday. It is in our house because it gives us another opportunity to thank God for the many blessings he’s bestowed upon us.

Thomas Crutcher: A True Worshiper
Growing up, I heard my dad, Thomas Crutcher, aka Tacky Man sing a song titled, “One of These Old Mornings,” by the New Christianaires. I can hear him sing these words, “One of these old mornings, it won’t be very long, you’re going to look for me and I’ll be gone. Going up to heaven to sing and shout, and there won’t be nobody there that can put me out.” Well, on September 20, 2008, just five days after my twenty-eighth birthday, my father went home to be with the Lord. What an honor it is for me to write about him, as we publish my 100th blog post!
The Life of Della Mae Crutcher
As a fair skinned woman with silky jet-black hair, Della Mae Crutcher looked like a white woman with a slight tan in the summertime; however, she passed on the opportunity to live like one in the 40s and 50s because she was proud to be an African American woman.
