Paul Mayhie recently reached out to us and asked us to post something about his new book, Another Brother in The Struggle.
Here is the description that comes with the book:
From the raw fields of Arkansas to the tumultuous streets of Grand Rapids, Michigan, W. Paul Mayhue’s life is a testament to resilience in the face of adversity. In “Another Brother in the Struggle”, Mayhue chronicles his remarkable journey of courage, determination, and an undying commitment to justice.
Born in a shanty house to a family with meager means, Mayhue’s story begins with his earliest battle against a mosquito, a seemingly small event that sets the stage for the numerous struggles he would face. Transitioning from country life to city life, he faced both societal and personal challenges head-on.
School wasn’t easy—between bullies and the pressure to maintain grades, Mayhue found solace and strength on the athletic field. But the challenges didn’t end there. Drafted into the army in the pivotal year of 1968, he narrowly avoided active duty, choosing instead to stand guard at home where a different kind of war raged. The assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had set the streets alight with fury and grief, and Mayhue bore witness to countless innocents trapped in a struggle they hadn’t chosen.
But rather than succumb, Mayhue decided to fight—in the noblest way possible. Delving into politics, he became a beacon of hope for those who felt voiceless, tirelessly advocating for their rights and aligning with likeminded souls in a collective quest for equality and justice.
ANOTHER BROTHER IN THE STRUGGLE is more than a memoir—it’s a reflection on the indomitable spirit of a man and an era. Dive into this gripping tale of survival, ambition, and the enduring power of the human spirit against all odds.
