In the second of three Strong Inside excerpts in The Tennessean, today’s installment covers Perry Wallace’s first game at Mississippi State, an experience he later described as “hell on earth.”
Wallace will be coming to Nashville later this week for a series of appearances:
* Wednesday, Dec. 3, MP&F Speaker Series at the Nashville Public Library (downtown), 6 p..m.
* Thursday, Dec. 4, Vanderbilt University Library, 2 p.m. and Vanderbilt-Baylor basketball game, 6 p.m.
This is one of the most compelling untold story that has finally come to the light of day. Many of my social media contacts have all returned positive comments and commitments to purchase your book. Thank you for the care you took in the telling of Perry’s story and the prominent place of his history making journey for all of us.
Thank you so much, Willie. It is an honor to tell your uncle’s story.
