Our Beloved Community: Mr. Juan S. Jones

 
 

An Oral History Project Conducted by John Robert Lewis Leader Peter Dumas

 

Project Description

The Oral History Project with Juan Jones was not by accident. I consider Mr. Jones a dear friend and a person that I admire. Mr. Jones has had an extraordinary life from a child who was taught to “Do your very best. Do not try to be the best; just do your very best every day in everything you do.” Raised in South Carolina, Mr. Jones and his family have had a rich history spanning centuries filled with unfathomable inequality struggles and purposeful achievements, driven by an unwavering faith in God, family, and their beloved community. This story is just the tip of the iceberg.
