Joshua Clemons is an 8 year-old who spends his free time speaking at schools and large gatherings. He describes writing a book as a gift for his mother and then further refining the story with the help of his grandmother. Joshua’s book is a contribution to the public discussion of the importance of the lives of enslaved Americans. He spoke with those gathered in October for the Quarter Place Tribute to formerly enslaved people at Patrick Henry’s Red Hill in Campbell County. And then, Joshua spoke with VPM.
