Nunc Coepi Now I Begin - A Memoir

John "JT" Williams, a young black man growing up on the seamy side of Chicagoland, stood at a crossroads. He figured he had two choices: He could run the streets with others his age and probably wind up behind bars like a caged animal, or he could get an education that led him on a path toward a better life than that endured by his mother and her forebears, the direct descendants of slaves. He chose the latter. But being a black man living in a predominately white world still presented many challenges and obstacles to overcome. Join JT on his journey to, if not quite the promised land, a place of productivity and prosperity. Praise for Nunc Coepi In Nunc Coepi, John "JT" Williams has written a powerful treatise. This is a story the world not only deserves to hear, but also needs to hear. This compendium is a kick in the ass of nearly every white who grows up privileged by color but does not recognize the advantage afforded them. These recollections of a man to whom the world has not been kind, and yet has overcome, is a most powerful description of the resilience of the human spirit and is exceedingly difficult to refute or ignore. You are that man, JT.
