(During Black History Month, I’m going to publish excerpts from my book, WALTER THOMAS BAILEY: STARING INTO THE YAWNING GULF OF ETERNITY, with commentary by Dr. Kwesi Daniels of Tuskegee University. The book is available on Amazon and for checkout from the Kewanee Public Library. You can also find more information about the book at https://www.waltertbailey.com.)
(Let’s skip past the chapter on Kewanee’s early years and the chapters on Walter T. Bailey’s parents and their background to hear about Walter’s life in Kewanee before he matriculated at the University of Illinois in 1900. We’ll also skip over how his uncles Lou and George Reynolds helped his mom after his dad died.)
