Sinopsis

Dr. Logan H. Westbrooks revisits his childhood in Memphis, Tennessee when he lived in a community known as Lauderdale Sub.áWestbrooks recounts the family values that fortified him and many others to become high achievers and great contributors to society.áIn addition to the Westbrooks family, the Bishop, Bryant, Davenport, Hawkins, Hodges, Moore, Neely, Patterson, Porter, Smith, Stiles and Weaver families are also featured.áAdditionally, the book pays homage to neighborhood churches such as Morning View, Mount Sinai and Carnegie COGIC. A drive through the area today would hardly hint of the history makers who grew up in the once thriving Lauderdale Sub. The likes of which include the late Bishop G. E. Patterson, BBQ mogul James Neely and Don Bryant, who co-wrote 'I CanâÇÖt Stand the Rain' with his wife, hit recording artist Ann Peebles.áTold through the oral traditions, here is a blueprint for success that is evidenced by an ever-fruitful legacy in the ministry, business, education, government, medicine, aviation, entertainment and beyond. ááááThis book is dedicated to the families that resided in the Lauderdale Sub from the 1940âÇÖs and to those who remain as recently as 2023. This neighborhood holds a rich history all its own. It was a thriving and vibrant neighborhood with children playing and interacting with each other.áMindful adults, always on the ready to spot and correct misbehavior. It was lively, friendly and very closely knit.áEverybody knew each other and all were on speaking terms. Dr. Logan H.áWestbrooks helped shape Black music in every form. He redefined marketing Black music andáAfrican Americanáartists and became the first African American music executive to have such a distinguished career at major record labels.Dr. Westbrooks was ordained in 1996 by the Church of God In Christ and received his masterâÇÖs in biblical counseling from Eternal Word Graduate School.
