A Journey Far: Ibere (Beginnings)

Imagine living in a world

where every facet of your existence is beyond your control.

Imagine living in a world

where your God-given physical traits are resented and reviled.

Imagine living in a world

where your humanity is subject to judicial and legal debate.

Imagine living in a world

where the government of the people, by the people, and for the people

is explicit and implicit in denying you the most basic of human rights –

life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

For James Scott, this isn’t imagination, but a horrifically callous reality.

Despite the odds stacked against him, despite the laws that hindered his future,

despite the obstacles that challenged his resolve,

this African American not only survived,

but thrived during his journey through 19th century America.

A Journey Far: Ibere (Beginnings).

It’s a story of humiliation, hurt, and heartache.

But more than that – it’s also a story of relationships.

It’s a story of discovery and victory. It’s a story of faith, of hope, of love.

It’s a story of America.
