They Called Us Darkies: Based on the True Story of Betty Jackson

By Thomas A Briscoe and Thomas Briscoe

Book Overview

In a small Missouri town during the 1950s, Betty Jackson was a normal American young lady who sought meaning in the midst of hardship. She must choose whether to live bound by fear or rise into the calling of her ancestors. An ordinary day consisted of overcoming unimaginable bouts with not only poverty, discrimination, and segregation, but also spiritual warfare in the form of police brutality and systemic oppression. When tragedy and injustice press against her family, by prophecy, they discover their true inheritance. Raised in a family bound by faith, love, and unshakable courage, Betty soon learns that tolerating unbearable circumstances doesn't measure strength, but by the spiritual promises fulfilled from her determination to persevere. When Betty discovers that her family has gifts of prophecy, dreams, visions, and other interactions with the supernatural realm, she is led into a new world where the hidden identity of her ancestors is revealed. But will this new knowledge of her bloodline be enough to triumph over a nation that seems to hate her solely because of her skin color?

Based on a true story, be inspired. They Called Us Darkies is a moving tale of endurance, faith, and revelation. It reminds us that miracles are not confined to ancient times-they live in ordinary people who refuse to give up hope. As a sinister plan reaches fatal heights, will her family survive the incredible odds or be destroyed by violence?

This story will leave you in awe at the resilience of the human soul.
