The Story
Everyday life and everyone's life is a story, including Dr. Billy Taylor's. My story is one that I have been wanting to share every since the day (October 19, 1977) I walked out of the maximum security prison located in Milan, Michigan a free man. It was then that I realized that, as in football, you get knocked down, but then?..you GET BACK UP! But little did I know at that time that there were to be other devastating events that knocked me down and knocked me down further than I ever believed it was possible to go. My life has been filled with a series of opportunities, obstacles, achievements, bad choices, wins, losses, mistakes, blessings, disappointments, friends, enemies, family members, nay-sayers and well-wishers. And, at one time or another all of them knocked me down and I had to get back up. But, leading by example, my mother, Mariah Marie Taylor, instilled in me the spiritual foundation that I lived by, lost sight of and returned to through God's grace and redemption. Some wanted me to tell my story because it is a great human interest story that inspires hope, possibilities and the realities of the human spirit. Some ask me to tell the story of a sports star, his fall from grace and subsequent return to a productive life and career. Others wanted a tale of heartache, a tale of jubilation. But, I wanted to tell the truth about how and why one so gifted, talented, loved and respected by many could fall so far and so hard but moreover? GET BACK UP!
