ODESSA, TEXAS --, UNITED STATES, March 3, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ODESSA, Texas — Texan author M. Elayne Hunt has partnered with Tate Publishing to commence the publication process of her book, “Dreams Fulfilled: One Family’s Quiet Triumph over Adversity.”
“Dreams Fulfilled: One Family’s Quiet Triumph Over Adversity”, is M. Elayne Hunt’s is the true family story. The book provides a vivid picture of the Hunt family and the travails of Elayne and her husband, Walter. It explains what they experienced beginning in the late 1960’s in Odessa Texas and how they dared to dream of a better way of life for themselves and equal opportunities in education for their two sons. The Hunts knew that change would not come easy, and while paying the price for justice and equality, their faith, courage, and strength sustained them, and most of their dreams were fulfilled.
“My older son, Daryl, inspired me and requested that I write our family’s story for him. Daryl did not want our story lost in the annals of history; but instead become a significant part of the history of Odessa, Texas,” shares Elayne.
“Dreams Fulfilled” is a historic and a revolutionary write-up that shows how the Hunts were the first African-American couple to ever exercise the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to support the right to purchase property in a previously all Anglo-homogeneous neighborhood located in Odessa, Texas, without fear. Together with a couple from a larger community, Elayne and her husband was able to overturn discrimination in housing and helped them to strongly encourage the county school district to carry out the plans they submitted to the federal government—which was approved.
Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.
