Autorenporträt
Charles B. Warren is an award-winning author living in Bartow, Florida just a few miles from the impressive home Lawrence Brown built to raise his family. He serves on the Board of Directors of the Neighborhood Improvement Corporation of Bartow, Inc., the organization that owns and manages the historic Brown House. Warren found the story of Lawrence Brown compelling-Brown was born into slavery, yet became a successful entrepreneur during dangerous times for black men-and L. B. Brown serves as an inspiration for younger generations. These two factors provided the compelling force that led him to record the history of the man and his time.
