by Estell Halliburton (Author)
Rural Mississippi in the 1950s was a world filled with racism where Black sharecropping families struggled just to break even. Yet the love of her close-knit family gave Estell Sims the foundation she needed to excel despite overt racism and being treated like a second-class citizen. When Estell's oldest brother lost his life fighting in Korea, his small life-insurance policy payout allowed the Sims family to buy their own house and move to nearby Aberdeen, but Estell had bigger dreams of going to college and someday moving to a big city like Chicago.
After completing her freshman year at Tuskegee University, Estell boarded a Trailways bus and headed to New York City for a summer job. She had no idea how much her life would change the day her cousin met her at the Port Authority bus station and took the nineteen-year-old back to meet her friends, including handsome and charming US Army soldier Joseph R. Halliburton.
Estell was amazed by the opportunities available in the city to people who looked like her, something she'd never experienced in the segregated South. Her worldview grew as she attended cultural events, learned to dress professionally, and embraced her heritage as a Black woman. Yet more compelling than anything else was Joseph, and after a whirlwind romance, the two were married just ten days before his deployment to Vietnam.
Leaving Aberdeen is the story of a young Southern girl's awakening during a turbulent time of racial reckoning, from reading torn textbooks in a one-room schoolhouse to attending a premier HBCU, from professional modeling to motherhood, and from accepting her "place" to supporting her husband's membership as a Black Panther. Through it all, Estell's love-for and from her parents, siblings, relatives, husband, children, and friends-is a beacon of the hope that carried her through.
