Ray Charles Awareness Rising In Greenville


By Michael Curtis
Greene Publishing,
Inc. i R IR
 Several months jP .'
ago, a bronze stat-
,he of Ray Charles
was erected in
Haffye Hayes Park
in Greenville. A
few blocks away,
the restoration of
his childhood
home is also
nearing comple-
tion. Now,
adding to the lo-
cal awareness
bf this musical
con, another
cornerstone of
Greenville,
Elesta Pritch-
ett, presented
two books
about
Charles to
Michelle
Holbrook,
Branch
Manager of
the Greenville
Library.
SAccording to Pritchett, the books were found from
an online search, purchased and then donated by Justi-
na Cone, who later asked Pritchktt to make the formal
presentation at the library As the previous Mayor and
current Councilwoman for Greenville, as well as a
friend to Charles family years ago, Pritchett holds the
Charles memorial very dear.
SBoth books were authored and autographed by Su-
san Sloate. The first is titled Ray Charles, Young Musi-
cian and the second is titled Ray Charles, Find Another
Way. Both books are excellent for youth reading and
are also available at Jackson Drug Store in downtown
Greenville.
