YH FILM: Former homeless Montgomery man shares hard-earned wisdom

(YHN)

A 63-year-old man known as “Wise William” is well-known in the Montgomery historic garden district for riding his bike all around town and sharing his smile and sunny outlook on life. William took a freight train from Birmingham to Montgomery forty years ago and stayed in Montgomery. He was homeless for some time but now has a room with an elderly lady.

“William is an inspiration,” said Chason Smitherman, Sr. who creates Yellowhammer Films and owns Growing Dreamz Media. “…We all need a little get up and go like William, and we all need to have that faith that William has.”
