Writing for the Faithful and the Doubtful
January 6, 1955 - September 29, 2022
It is with much sadness that I announce the death of my dear friend and colleague, Cecile Holmes. A journalist in heart and soul, Cecile and I met when she introduced me to the world with my book Black Bible Chronicles: From Genesis to the Promised Land in 1993. From that moment on, we became not only friends, but partners in the waging of peace. We wrote together and shared our love of humanity. I'll miss you, friend. I will continue to wage peace, embracing the other, because there is only us. ~ PK
Cecile's first book, Witnesses to the Horror: North Carolinians Remember the Holocaust, was reported whie she was working for the Greensboro News & Record in NC.
