Publisher's Notes
First Line: "When I think about the early part of my life and how it helped make me the man I have become, it is so clear to me how lucky I was to have been born and raised in a world of structures."
Industry Reviews
"The present memoir, written with Annette Gordon-Reed, a professor at New York University Law School, by necessity is more than a success story. It is also a recollection of the pain suffered and the bravery asserted by so many black Americans--and more than a handful of white Americans--in the struggle for political and economic equality."
New York Times Book Review - Roy Reed (11/04/2001)
