Product Description
The book is an autobiographical perspective of a young second generation NAACP president seeking to bring about a philosophical change to the historic civil rights struggle in the post civil rights (1980s Reagan-Bush) era. The book examines several economic discrimination and police misconduct issues that brought about generational conflicts in the African American community, subsequently leading to the worst civil disturbance in American history, the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

Anthony Asadullah Samad writes from his heart. This is a book about rebirth and the changes that he went thru to become who he is today. It's about being an advocate for his people at all cost. It should be required reading for African American Studies everywhere. It will captures you from the beginning until the end. Excellent debut Mr. Samad.
