Hidden Princess: The Rebirth of Making Mary
 
 
Hidden Princess is an extraordinary novel, a literary masterpiece. Underscoring the Black Experience, Hidden Princess is the compelling love story and the life and legacy of Vivian Johnson, a troubled soul trapped in an even more troubling time in American history. The narrative is centered on Vivian’s unending relationship drama with Lee Hiram, her less-than-apt suitor, the microcosm of which Muhammad uses to display for the reader the depths of contemporary relationships within a greater overall context. Set mostly during the transition between the Civil War and the Great Depression, Hidden Princess chronicles the daily travails of a nation – and its people– in flux. Still haunted by the ever-present specter of racism, the Johnson family soon succumbs to the lure of the Great Migration, joining the millions of other poor Black families seeking to escape the oppressive clutches of the South. #HistoricalFiction Historical Romance

Through its diversified programs and artistic avenues, Rising South aims to address personal and community healing, with a focus on literacy, trauma recovery, and violence prevention. 

     

    The organization's upcoming "From Hidden to Crowned" project explores resilience and empowerment after trauma. Mr. Bryson was scheduled to perform a full concert at Huntsville's Orion Amphitheater on October 4, 2026, as the featured artist for the organization's #StompTheViolence community awareness initiative. The event was designed to bring attention to the devastating effects of domestic violence, gun violence, and other forms of violence impacting families and communities throughout North Alabama and beyond. The re-imagined centerpiece will include performances, dance, and youth-led art displays representing the journey from pain to purpose. Local vocalists will be asked to perform selections inspired by his music, youth-centered artistic presentations, dramatic performances promoting nonviolence, and a fashion showcase highlighting strength, leadership, healing, and positive models of manhood. The event will continue to focus on encouraging our community to choose hope over violence and healing over harm.

     

    Rising South's programming is directly aligned with global health priorities around violence prevention, literacy advancement, and trauma-informed care. The organization leverages digital platforms to extend its reach and impact beyond the local community, while grounding all initiatives in evidence-based research. Through this multifaceted approach, Rising South aims to build a culture of peace, literacy, and collective pride.
