Author Joey O'Connor dropped by the studio to talk about his new book, Among Kings, and catch up with Bub and Bob.

About The Book
William Sheppard and his book is an historical adventure addressing powerful themes about overcoming evil with good, and fighting against racism. William Sheppard is one of the most fascinating African Americans, yet he is largely overlooked in Black History. He is one of the most unknown African American heroes in America. I became intrigued by Sheppard's story after my brother-in-law gave me a book about Sheppard. As we researched his life and work, it was clear Sheppard was a beloved missionary and explorer. He was lauded by kings, queens, and U.S. Presidents. One of the most famous Americans of his day, he spoke at black and white churches all over the East Coast. He is a model of courage, compassion, and what it means to stand against injustice.
