Mississippi author Meredith Coleman McGee presents the reader with
a triple expression of literary form in ODYSSEY, a uniquely
written, well researched work which produces a family of fiction
and nonfiction writings under one cover. This book is an
interesting read especially for the poetic minded, the Civil Rights
activists, students of history, and small business leaders. Of
special notation is the prelude written entirely in a poetic
fashion by the author's sister and niece. This one volume contains
228 pages with pictures, charts and references. The first three
chapters consist of poems that mirror the behavior and conditions
that are often seen in today's world. These human conditions exist
in one's engaging journey for self-identification. Some of the
poems are based on factual events; in one poem the author includes
the experience of her ancestor in a four line stanza. Chapter four
consists of pre-published articles by the author which respond to
current and historically charged issues which provide valuable
resources for a bevy of audiences. The articles include statistical
and timely information about numerous topics and record facts about
McGee's uncle Civil Rights Icon James Meredith's 2009 Walk for the
Poor and his & 2012 Walk for Education & Truth. In the
final chapter, McGee shares the findings of her research project
which was submitted to Antioch University McGregor, now known as
Antioch University Midwest, Yellow Springs, Ohio, in partial
fulfillment of her Master of Arts Degree. This study compared the
leadership characteristics of Sam Walton and Ray Croc with southern
small business leaders. Walton and Croc turned Walmart and
McDonald's respectively into global conglomerates. This study is
heralding for leaders interesting in mirroring the leadership
styles of successful entrepreneurs. Alma M. Fisher, Tougaloo
