75-year-old Frederick Hopkins lost his father at the age of three. He credits his mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother for their tireless hours in molding him into the man he has become. He played sports and pursued his love of music at the all Black P.S. Jones High School in Washington, North Carolina. He marched in protest in the streets of Washington during the 60’s, served in the military, and would eventually return home to his “true calling” and become a minister. And would he change anything? Only that his father could have lived longer.
