Dewhitt L. Bingham
\nI\u2019m Dewhitt L. Bingham and I write non-fiction with a focus on civil rights, social injustice, segregation, policing and promoting racial harmony. I\u2019m originally from Festus, Missouri but I\u2019ve in Bloomington Illinois for the past 35 years. I\u2019ve Been a Probation Officer for 32 years and an Adjunct Professor for 23 years. I\u2019ve only been writing for about three years. My first piece was police related and has a spiritual flavor. My second piece is about the great Viola Liuzzo, the only white woman murdered during the Civil Rights march with Dr. King from Selma to Montgomery. My third piece will be complete in a couple of months. It is about Douglass the Negro school (my grandfather was in the first graduating class of 5 in 1940) in Festus (which is 95% white) and how progressive Festus was in 1954 after the Brown Supreme Court Decision. Looking forward to meeting all the authors and learning from them. God Bless! Dewhitt<\/p>\n
