Whitlock, Owner of Whitlock's Florist, Attempted to Compose the Lives of His Two Daughters (HC) By: Charlene Hampton Holloway, RN Whitlock’s Compositions tells the true tale of three African American women who did not give up on their chosen careers and obtained their education during the Great Depression through the 1960s Civil Rights era. As well as documenting well-known African American athletes in the 1960s, this inspiriting story speaks aloud to the saga African American families face throughout the country. The relevancy of this story to today’s world post-COVID-19 is powerful as author Charlene Hampton Holloway, RN recounts how her mother, C. Thelma Whitlock, was nursed back to health as a one-year-old baby by her mother, Parthenia Whitlock, during the 1918 Spanish Influenza pandemic. Written to inspire today’s youth, Holloway hopes to encourage those of all cultures to set goals, obtain education in their dream careers, and never give up.
