They Called Us Darkies: Based on the True Story of Betty Jackson

In a 1950's Missouri town lived Betty Jackson, a normal American young woman. Except for one fact... She and her family were black. A normal day consisted of overcoming unimaginable bouts with, not only poverty, discrimination, and segregation, but constant warfare in the form of police brutality, systemic oppression, and even the Ku Klux Klan. How can a family survive when a black man can be murdered with no investigation? Will they become easy prey for physical attacks, as well as mental, psychological, and spiritual ones?

When Betty discovers that her family has "gifts" of prophecy, dreams, visions, and other interactions with the supernatural realm, she is led into a new world where the hidden identity of her ancestors is revealed. Lies are exposed as she learns the real reason black lives are targeted. But will this new knowledge be enough to triumph over a nation that seems to hate her solely because of her skin color? As a sinister plan reaches fatal heights, will her family survive the incredible odds, be destroyed by violence, or question their own self-worth and implode from within?

Based on a true story, be inspired by one example of how a race of People ultimately rose despite horrific tragedies that helped shape today's social movements. Absorb how God is now birthing ground-breaking justice and truths that impact our exciting times! Betty's message will awaken you. Minority lives are being elevated. The winds of change now breathe across every horizon. It's time for the dry bones to live!
