Journey is a collection of poems that offers a reflective look at various periods and experiences of Wade Hudson's life journey. There are poems about growing up in Mansfield, LA, a small, Jim Crow town in the south and the people who nurtured him and loved him. There are poems about the Black struggle for freedom and justice. Also included are poems that offer words of wisdom gained over years as an activist and Black cultural advocate. Poet and author Tony Medina calls Journey a "collection of lifelong wealth, experience, wisdom, and passion." Writer and literary critic E. Ethelbert Miller says "Wade Hudson's journey continues beyond the last page. His book is a baton to be passed to the next generation. His writing hand is filled with love."
Published by Third World Press Foundation, the nation's oldest Black-owned independent publisher.

"Images, whether in print, film, television, or on stage, are constantly shaping the way we feel and what we think and believe. This is particularly crucial to the African-American community which has been deliberately given negative images of its history and culture. I find it rewarding to help reshape and change those negative images to reflect truth. I think the struggle to present the correct images, the truth, is the most crucial one facing us all."
