Minnie Redmond was the daughter of a day worker (maid), her father a white man, who would never claim her. Minnie was raised by her grandparents Mack and Josephine who were farmers. God blessed Minnie with an “Angelic Voice”, she was sought after by many major gospel recording artists.

Charlie first seen Minnie singing at Saint James Church in Nashville, Tennessee, he knew that he would marry her. Their lifelong union produced five children, Charles, Bobbie, Delores, Wanda, and Susan.

Life was not easy for this family, segregation, racism was ‘Real”. Hope for a better life was a “Dream” this Black family living in the south refused to give up on.

No, it was not easy, but this did not stop these two amazing people from providing for their family, and others who were in need.

Yes, they fed families, took them in and shared whatever they had, to make sure that the next one was ok. Are we not our brothers/sisters keeper?

No matter what these two individuals went through they remained prayerful and determined to make a better life for themselves and their children and they did, they did it in a way that keeps paying dividends thru-out society!
