No one was writing about Black men as heroes or about Black California.
Walter Mosley wanted to tell those stories.
His protagonist, Easy Rawlins, was an out-of-work WWII veteran who turned detective to pay the bills. Mosley wanted Rawlins to navigate racial tension, segregation, and police brutality in Los Angeles.
When he finally typed “The End” on the last page of Devil In A Blue Dress in 1990, white publishers didn’t want a Black hero.
Romans 8:28 inspires us to remain strong in our purpose, “We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan.”
Mosley didn’t give up and continued his path to have Black stories with Black men as heroes put into the world. Our communities needed to read, see, and hear them.
Mosley finally got the book published. It was a bestseller and made into a film starring Denzel Washington. His books showed multifaceted Black heroes solving crimes, helping the Black community, and caring for their families.
Over 60 bestselling books later, this award-winning producer, author, and film and TV writer shows us that our purpose here on earth is always for our good. Our goals and dreams matter. Which of your goals will you conquer next?
