About

From Sharecropper to Multimillionaire is a powerful story of love and loss, the strength of family, and the fight to build community and generational wealth. At its heart is a man of unshakeable faith who rose from poverty, honored God, uplifted the forgotten, and triumphed against all odds.

The story spans two generations, from a father's World War II bride to his son's Vietnam War bride. Their journeys reveal striking parallels and sharp contrasts, bound together by a promise that lasted a lifetime. Yet it is also a story of betrayal, deception, and the battle to protect a family's inheritance and legacy.

“A Proud Moment”

I recently discovered a TikTok entitled Boston’s hidden treasures. As a lifelong Bostonian, I was delighted to read about various stories which illuminated many unheralded heroes in Boston’s colorful history. This story “From Sharecropper to Multimillionaire” belongs there as well. There are lessons to be learned and shared because of Mr. Pitts’ determination to succeed in order to continue generational wealth as his legacy. ~Gloria M.

“Greatness achieved despite life’s obstacles”

African Americans rarely have the opportunity to keep their land and property away from gentrification or government acquisition. This is a wonderful story of the fight that must go on and preserve their cultural heritage. The struggle to maintain ownership of land and property is a testament to the resilience and determination of African Americans in the face of systemic challenges. ~C. Moneé
