Roxbury Redemption

This is the story of a life well lived, but with difficulties along the way. Dr. Williams tells how he overcame challenges and found a meaningful and fulfilling life with perseverance and the grace of God. Three great religions, Catholic, Baptist, and the Nation of Islam, placed Earle Williams on a trajectory of success. As a child, people told his mother he was mentally retarded. After starting high school at the age of 12, and the only Black in all of his classes for four years, someone told him, "Any college that accepts you is hard up." His father even told him he was too stupid to finish high school and that he should quit and get a job. Then as a 21-year-old recently discharged Air Force veteran, he discovered a hit-and-run driver killed his mother. Enraged, he embarked on a life of crime for two years until authorities arrested him and sentenced him to Walpole Maximum Security Penitentiary in Massachusetts. Read this amazing autobiographical story to find out how he became Dr. Earle Williams. In the tradition of "when you get to where you're going, don't forget where you've been," Dr. Williams tells how he, and others who were in prison, can turn their lives around. Now as a Forensic Clinical Psychologist in private practice, and assistant professor at Hampton University, he tells you, 'There's plenty of room a the top, it's just those darn bottoms that are so crowded."
