>>>    “Neutral on Nothing is a ‘must read’ chronicle about the social activism of the late Rev. Dr. B. H. Hester, eighth pastor of the historic Shiloh Baptist Church (Old Site) in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Rev. Dr. Hester gave of himself fearlessly, despite potential threats, to make the entire community a better place — and to lift his race. He never gave up in his pursuit of those things that would strengthen others. His work lives on because he believed ‘to whom much is given, much is required’ (Luke 12:48).”

 — The Rev. Dr. Aaron L. Dobynes, Sr., tenth pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church (Old Site)

>>>    “Pamela, thank you  very much for the copy of your wonderful book.  I read it cover to cover as soon as I received it.  It maintains a personal account of Granddaddy along with a significant account of civil rights history, our town's history.  It made me remember honeysuckle on a fence near your childhood home — as well as my awakening awareness of the inequality in our community. It is a valuable piece of Fredericksburg's history and should be widely distributed."

 — Mary Katherine Greenlaw, Mayor, City of Fredericksburg, Virginia
