Emphasis Preaching Journal

Years ago many of us were enthralled with Alex Haley's story, Roots. Haley traced the heritage of many African Americans; however, his work inspired not only African Americans but lots of us of different ethnic backgrounds. Since Haley's work, the interest in family trees and roots has increased considerably. As your authors have grown older, we have both become more and more appreciative of understanding and keeping our roots in mind. Myrna has scattered about our house pieces of ceramics which her mother made. Bob cherishes a potato sack from a processing plant in his hometown in Idaho.
