About the author
Alvin M. Hayes
3 books7 followersHello, after a career in sales management I retired and now spend my days golfing, writing, and trying to remember why I went to the kitchen.
As a challenge, I started writing to express my frustration with how African Americans are marginalized.
Not satisfied I decided to challenge myself again but this time to write the whileBlack Chronicles'. about black lives during different eras of American history. My stories are a blend of historical facts and creative writing.

Wonderful Story Clouded by Grammatical Errors
The author should definitely invest in a proofreader. Way too many grammatical errors in this book, unfortunately. But, great story.

Round of Applause
I'm going to just say it, " This needs to be a television series." Possibly the fruition of a new superhero
