Samuel Wesley Gathing: A Closer Look is the moving true story of
Sam and Beatrice Gathing and the struggles they faced rearing their
fourteen children during the era of the Jim Crow laws. These laws
meant that both society and the system enforced the damaging view
that their children were just stupid black kids. In this climate of
institutionalized discrimination, Sam had to maneuver his way
through a massive minefield of irrational hatred intended to
destroy him and his family.
Sam and Beatrice began their life together in December 1929, in
Desoto County, Mississippi, taking the gift of a mule named Rock
and a big red cow to start their farm. Over the years, as their
family expanded, so did the land that they farmed. Sam learned to
live by the rules of the day but was always a true leader to both
his family and to his friends. Through all the challenges that Sam
encountered, his faith in God never wavered-he believed that the
truth could be found in God's words and actions, not in the laws
that were meant to harm him and his people.
