Douglass Mayberry

Douglas writes one of the most variant narratives as he shares his revulsion to what he saw as odious bourgeois consumerism and classism among Tuskegee’s upwardly mobile Black community.  While he enjoyed the new cars and clothing his doctorate-degreed father and doting mother showered upon him as a teenager, he later made life decisions diametrically opposed to Booker T. Washington’s principles of education, hard work, and contributing to the Black community.  After college and military service, he turned away from these values to become a drug dealer and spent a quarter of a century behind bars.

Douglas graduated from Howard University as a commissioned officer in the military before engaging in illegal activity for most of his youth.

Douglas ends his narrative explaining his adoption of Urantia spiritual principles and practices later in his life and writing a blog visited by people worldwide.
