Nunc Coepi: Now I Begin
a memoir by
John "JT" Williams
A young Black man growing up on the seamy side of Chicagoland stood at a crossroads: He could run the streets and wind up behind bars, or he could get an education that led him on a path toward a better life than that endured by his mother and her forebears, the direct descendants of slaves. He chose the latter.
In Nunc Coepi, John "JT" Williams has written a powerful treatise. This is a story the world not only deserves to hear, but also needs to hear.
