WHY DID YOU SELECT THIS NAME FOR THIS BLOG ?
Ma Lil is a thought provoking fictional story which spans 97 years. It is a rare glimpse into a century of turmoil and struggle as experienced by an African -American family. Lil, the main character, is born a few weeks before the end of slavery.
She marries at sixteen and lives in a small town working with her family as a sharecropper. When she marries she moves to the edge of town. After three years of marriage her husband is killed by the Klan. Lil eventually remarries and raises her daughter, Alexandria Mae. She and her second husband have four children.
The family is tested by adversity. The civil rights movement, a shooting incident during a non-violent civil rights protest, life threatening illness and so much more. Through it all they grow stronger while fighting for their right to live their dreams.
