And it was certainly no knock against Macon- there must certainly be somthing good in the water there...

"He was born James Joe Brown, Jr. on May 3rd, 1933 in Barnwell, SC. His father, Joe Garner Brown was black and American Indian. His mother, Susie Behlings Brown was black and asian. James was a stillborn baby delivered by his aunts. His Aunt Minnie did not give up after he was born, blowing into his lungs until he finally started crying. His parents were very poor.

..........The three of them decided to move across the Savannah River to Augusta so Joe could find a better job. They moved in with his aunt, Handsome Washington, known as Honey. Joe soon left and never lived with James again but was still around.
