The Favor: My Journey

By Josephine Reed Funchess

This is the inspiring story of Josephine Reed Funchess, one of fourteen children born to Mississippi sharecroppers. At the age of seventeen, she was chosen to attend school and live with a family in Scarsdale, New York, as part of the STEP* program. Moved by faith and the work and words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Josephine creates a life of courage, pride and achievement. Her journey provides a lesson in the power of individual lives serving as agents of social change, one at a time. In daring to dream, Josephine rises up to fulfill her destiny with grace and mercy lighting her way. This is a Civil Rights memoir of the 1960s, but it is also a timeless story of grit, faith and what can happen when we choose to believe.... *Student Transfer Education Program
