In Pivotal Powerful Journey, Ora Mae Lewis, at the age of 17, prays that she can bring an end to Jim Crow segregation in the Catholic Church and in her home state of Louisiana. She works very hard to become a Journalist, writing for the Sepia Socialite, a small Black owned newspaper and eventually for the major newspaper, the New Orleans Item. Inspired by beloved US Senator Huey P. Long, who is assassinated in 1935, Ora writes "A Letter to the Archbishop." After confronting New Orleans Archbishop Joseph Rummel, Ora desegregates the Eighth National Eucharistic Congress in October 1938 and the entire City of New Orleans for millions of people. Ora Mae Lewis was born on March 29, 1918, during World War I. Her Father Nathan Leopold Lewis was a native of Jamaica who fought in the Dardanelles Campaign of World War I in the British Navy, earning recognition for his bravery. Ora's Mother Cecilia Atkinson, a Classically trained and Lutheran College educated Pianist, passed away when Ora was only seven-years-old. So, Ora was not able to complete high school, until 1938. Ora stopped attending high school due to the Great Depression to begin working as a Journalist for Sepia Socialite newspaper in 1936 and later the New Orleans Item, the largest circulated newspaper in the City New Orleans, in 1937. New Orleans Archbishop met with Ora for the first time in response her article and the two would dismantle Jim Crow segregation in New Orleans over the course of the next 26 years. As a German native, Archbishop Rummel worked closely with President Franklin D. Roosevelt to plan the Evian Conference and save the lives of Jewish German Holocaust victims. Ora went on to attend Harvard in residence and graduate from Xavier University of Louisiana and Loyola University of New Orleans, earning a Master's degree in Counseling. The story reveals US Senator Huey P. Long's 1935 assassination, the Evian Conference, Kristallnacht, the Chamberlain Berchtesgaden meeting, the Munich Agreement and more. Visit IMDb.com.
