SPOTLIGHT AUTHORS!
THE OAKLAND PRESS – IN THE SPOTLIGHT (Start a discussion)
“SPOTLIGHT” AUTHOR
SHIRLEY HARRIS- SLAUGHTER
Growing up in Royal Oak Township, in Metro-Detroit, Shirley, at an early age loved old buildings and vintage clothing. When she realized that the Catholic church she had grown up in was going to be shut down, she wanted to record it’s history and try to save at least some part of her community, so she wrote a book! OUR LADY OF VICTORY: THE SAGA OF AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN CATHOLIC COMMUNITY is a must read for all. And if you’re a history buff, that’s just a bonus!
Shirley recently stepped down as Newsletter Co-Ordinator here at RRBC, as she is embarking on a new journey…she has more stories to tell. She now sits among the vast number of members we have and she continues to serve, but in another capacity…she is a Tweet Support Team Member and we’re glad to have her in any capacity she chooses to serve in. She is one uber-supportive member and we appreciate the time she gave us in our news room, and we will continue to appreciate her service on the TST!
We hope that you will support Shirley by visiting each stop on her blog tour, sharing your comments and thoughts, following her on Twitter @SHarrislaughter, befriending her on Facebook, and most importantly, supporting her awesome book!
