Item Description

Contributed by: Meredith McGee, RDLN Graduate
What do time, the Jewish Calendar, and the Roman Calendar have to do with Biblical scripture? How did pagan rituals become incorporated into modern holidays?    This book, TAATA, was written to bring a serious focus to the three world ages, with emphasis on the current age in which we are living now.  The author is Elder Robert Joseph Coleman, father of RDLN Leader Meredith Coleman McGee.

Donor Meredith McGee is an entrepreneur who has her own business (Typing Solutions & Resumes, Etc.), which also does business development consulting.  With other family members, she has an online business called Heirsskymall.com, and she heads her family’s investment club.  As an RDLN Leader, she earned her master’s degree from Antioch as a recipient of the Billie Jean Young scholarship. Her field project was to train community people in redistricting with her Sponsoring Organization, Southern Echo.  Ms. McGee formerly worked with the Mississippi Association of Cooperatives, which helps small farmers and helps save Black-owned land.  She has completed a biography of her uncle James Meredith, the first African-American to enroll in the University of Mississippi, which will be published by Praeger this year.  She is also co-author of Married to Sin, a account of family dysfunction and poverty.
