Our Family History

From humble beginnings, Harrison Roosevelt and Azzie Bell Singletary, blazed and cleared a trail for their children and those to follow. This journey began with one mule, one acre of land and two small old drafty buildings connected by a board they used to walk on. One building was used as a bedroom and the adjacent one used as the kitchen. Both buildings were heated by wood and kerosene lanterns were used to provide light. Harrison and Bell, what he affectionately called her, worked jointly day and night, each one attending to the task at hand. Daddy used the old mule and a lantern as he tilled the fields by night to prepare for the planting season while Mama kept the home and reared the children. Their home always had prepared food no matter the time of day. The Patriarch and Matriarch of our family were sustained by their basic beliefs in faith, family, christian ethics, work ethics, community and education. Therefore, a scholarship has been established in honor of their legacy highlighting examples of their “truths”.

In Honor and Memory of Harrison R and Azzie Bell Singletary, the family establishes this Scholarship Fund. “The Legacy Lives On”.
