Moonshine and Living in the Deep South

Cleveland Brown was born November 2, 1937, in Ashburn, Georgia, the only child of Jetty Brown and Arlene Brown. He was raised in Sibley, Georgia, during his early days and in Ashburn, Georgia, at the Stevens Street Projects during his Eureka High School days. As a teenager he helped his father make moonshine on the Williams farm in Sibley, Georgia, before they moved to Ashburn. As an adult, Cleveland worked in several areas in north Georgia, but later he returned to his hometown to live. To his disappointment, he found race relations in Ashburn had not changed. Cleveland will present his thoughts about today's black youth, small town law enforcement, and who should be educating the African American child, among other subjects relevant to blacks living in the deep South. Cleveland was married to Alma LeBon Brown for 19 years. She passed away in 1997. Cleveland has two daughters, Amery Brown and Michelle Vail. He has two grandsons, Tyrese Vail and Marcus Tukes, from his daughter Michelle. Cleveland works at Ashburn's Splash Pad during the summer months and enjoys being around children. He writes often for the local newspaper, The Wiregrass Farmer, on a variety of subjects. Writing articles for the newspaper has been a great encouragement for him toward doing this book.
