Grandmother's Old Stories

“Saturday morning until sundown we were getting our hair shampooed, dried, and pressed. Mama finished our hairstyles by braiding two back plaits, rolling our bangs, wrapping and tying a silk scarf on our heads Aunt-Jemima style,” starts one of the many fascinating stories compiled in this book. Raised in Tunica, Mississippi, Everette Lee Allen-LuVert recalls her life and upbringing on a plantation and in the Colored Subdivisions of Tunica, Mississippi. These short stories are her reflection of years long ago and her attempt to pass them to the next generation. The stories within these pages will grant you, the Reader, joy just as they have her own grandchildren. What’s more, they are refreshing and inspiring to all who read them. Enjoy each story and anticipate more to come in Volume Two.
