Charlie E. Hendrix

Our Non-Profit is a collective of amazing people striving to build better awareness and a better community.

Charlie a former slave, his father a plantation overseer and minister, his mother a Native American Indian.  To hear the stories that have been passed down from generations and being afforded the opportunity to see the plantation and meet the ex-masters grandchildren first hand was historic.

But to see the look on my father’s face to take me back to a place of pain and hope for a better life meant so much more. Charlie left Pine Bluff, Arkansas at a young age in quest of a better life.  He found himself in Nashville, Tennessee, where he would meet and marry a young woman who had caught his eye, Minnie Redmond.
