Dr. Sharon Mitchell Wooten once put a coin in her shoe to help remind her of what really matters when life is unfair. As it turns out, she would rely on the symbolism of the coin and her unyielding spirituality many times after she joined the faculty at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) and unwittingly journeyed into the open arms of racism. In her heartfelt, candid memoir, Dr. Wooten chronicles her foray into university life as she begins a job as director of the Learning Development and Evaluation Center at Florida A&M University. As she discloses how she slowly uncovered the racism and evil acts that lurked in the shadows and somehow intertwined with the genuine love of good people, she reveals the power of God’s love as she learned to deal with an aggressive and often belligerent administration and the daily challenges of her students. Positive change is powerful. Through her poignant story of spiritual love, hope for the future, and incredible inner strength, Dr. Wooten sheds light on an important issue that has plagued our society since the beginning of time.
