On this episode of Our American Stories, Eric Motley, author of Madison Park: A Place of Hope, shares how he was raised by a close-knit African American community in Montgomery, Alabama where storytelling, encouragement, and faith shaped a young boy’s life. In a place where many elders had been denied formal education, spoken words carried power, passing down dignity, purpose, and hope. This is the story of how encouragement, community, and stories told out loud can change a life forever.
