    About this ebook

    Raising Ivy is an amazing true story of faith, hope, and love that chronicles one family's journey from the cruelty of slavery, poverty, and segregation in the fields of rural Alabama to prosperity and triumph on the football fields and in vaunted halls of the Ivy League. Raising Ivy examines the power of education, faith, family, and football to lift and transform the family from illiteracy to a fifth generation descendent becoming an Ivy League graduate and only the fifth black man to be captain of the Yale Football Team. The journey is filled with murder, intrigue, secret societies, and tales of glory on the grid iron. Raising Ivy combines simple faith-based lessons with humorous anecdotes, powerful true events, and poignant revelations that take the reader along on this the incredible journey to Yale and back.
