  • Introduction

    He always made me feel like I was special...he always talked to me! Whatever other cares he may have had... he never showed them to me! One person who tried to cause me trouble asked me, "whose your father?" I replied, "He was the the baddest MF in Saint Louis." My dad had a reputation of not taking c*** from others.

Did you know?
In 1929, in the year that Sylvester Leon Motley was born, American Samoa officially became a U.S. territory. Although a part of the United States since 1900, the Ratification Act of 1929 vested "all civil, judicial, and military powers in the President of the United States of America".
Did you know?
In 1930, when he was merely 1 year old, on August 6th, N.Y. Supreme Court Judge Joseph Crater went through papers in his office, destroyed some of them, withdrew all his money from the bank - $5,150, sold his stock, met friends at a restaurant for dinner and disappeared after getting into a taxi (or walking down the street - his friends' testimony later changed). His disappearance was reported to the police on September 3rd - almost a month later. His wife didn't know what happened, his fellow Justices had no idea, and his mistresses (he had several) said that they didn't know. While his disappearance was front page news, his fate was never discovered and after 40 years the case was closed, still without knowing if Crater was dead or alive.
