In his lifetime, Robert Mayes has seen it all. In his
Pre-obituary of Robert Henry Mayes from Bellville, Texas
, Mayes writes on a period of time in history through his own eyes, through his own original toastmaster's speeches intertwined throughout. Many of the issues then are still unsolved, which gives Mayes an opportunity to offer a different perspective, posing thought-provoking questions throughout. Through this work, adults and youths alike should recognize that dreaming big can launch one to places not realized before.
