Landry M. Simmons Jr. Releases Powerful New Memoir Roots of Resilience: Unveiling Our History

NEW YORK - EntSun -- A Journey Through America's Past and One Family's Enduring Legacy

In Roots of Resilience: Unveiling Our History, author and U.S. Congressional candidate Landry M. Simmons Jr. unearths the extraordinary story of his ancestors — a lineage that stretches from the early English settlers of the 1600s to the complex realities of slavery and resilience in North Carolina, and ultimately, to a modern-day pursuit of justice, purpose, and legacy in America.

This sweeping biographical memoir traces the intertwined histories of the Dobson and Cooper families, beginning with William E. Dobson's journey from Lancashire, England, to the Virginia Colony, through the political rise of William Polk Dobson—a North Carolina senator and cousin to President James Knox Polk—and into the enduring spirit of descendants who survived and thrived despite the traumas of slavery. Simmons reveals a family line both burdened by and redeemed through the pursuit of truth, equality, and perseverance.

Through meticulous research, personal reflection, and a candid acknowledgment of painful truths, Roots of Resilience explores the duality of American history — one of ambition and oppression, privilege and perseverance. Simmons recounts the story of Lewis Dobson, born to an enslaved mother and a white landowner, and his descendants' relentless fight for dignity, education, and freedom. The result is a deeply moving portrait of faith, strength, and transformation across centuries.
