For a second time on that day, I was caught in a time warp. . . I became a time traveler. The experience brought sadness to my soul and tears to my eyes. I did not attempt to hide my tears.” “Sparrows of Senegambia” received a starred review from BlueInk Review, which calls it a highly compelling and thoroughly engaging, well-paced story that “deserves a place on shelves next to other nonfiction books about the African-American experience, told more fully and factually in the post-George Floyd world.” The book, says BlueInk Review, illuminates “how enslavers created equally effective systems to brainwash ‘the Negro’ to accept a permanently inferior role in society. Lesser education, high rates of incarceration, and voter suppression are still systems used today.” The review also adds, “Sampson’s parents emphasized education as a path to economic and social advancement. All eight of their children were highly educated. While Sampson admits the promise of merit-based advancement and reality sometimes conflicted, his reflections on being a black man in a white dominant culture are mild. Without bitterness, he writes that he coped in part by rationalizing away negative feelings, focusing on career goals, and compartmentalizing past injustices.” Delve into the thoughts and reflections of Dr. Charles Sampson in “Sparrows of Senegambia: A Memoir.” Order a copy by visiting Amazon , the ReadersMagnet bookstore , or the author’s website at https://www.charlessampsonbooks.com/ Sparrows of Senegambia: A Memoir Author | Charles Sampson, PhD Author Bio Charles Sampson is the seventh son of the late Plummer and Lurline Sampson.
