Life's Greatest Lessons
On May 1, 1940, in a small community known as Grove Park, Glenn Moffett was born. Located in the North West part of Atlanta GA, Grove park was home to a primarily lower middle class, mainly white, population. This was the kind of town where the local grocery store, church, and school were all accessible within a five-mile radius. Alongside his extended family, Glenn spent the entire period of his youth growing up in this community. His childhood home was located on an elevated piece of property known as “the hill”, a place where only him and his extended family (this includes cousins, uncles/aunts, and grandparents) resided. Glenn likes to describe his experience growing up in a neighborhood that was mutually exclusive to his own kin as one that is like the dynamics of a commune. Everyone living on “the hill” watched out for each other. Glenn recalls many of his daily activities always being done in the company of various family members.
