“For far too long, stories of this forgotten corner of the Piedmont (Randolph County, NC) remained untold. In BORN MISSIONARY: THE ISLAY WALDEN STORY, as in her two previous books, Margo Lee Williams has worked diligently and masterfully to bring to light its nuanced history.” Ruth Ann Grissom, conservationist and columnist for the Montgomery Herald and the UNCC Urban Institute . #islaywalden #randolphcountync #striebychurchnc #africanamericanhistory #africanamericaneducators #africansmericanministers #northcarolinahistory #africanamericanpoets #howarduniversity #newbrunswicktheologicalseminary #americanmissionaryassociation #congregationalchurchhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/COEn566pBVu/?igshid=dvf40h4gj5d3
