DESCRIPTION:
Dr. Hooks' Bio This book is excellent! I met Dr. Hooks and his lovely wife Mrs. Frances years ago but I didn't know much about his life except for his work with the NAACP. To see his life in words and pictures truly gave you insight into a great American! Despite the numerous obstacles he faced as a Black man growing up in the south, Dr. Hooks (and his family) didn't allow all of the racial roadblocks and hatred to stop him from achieving his dreams. He had a brilliant mind and a humble heart. We could all learn lessons from this great man. I highly recommend this book to everyone.. Albert Calvin, Jr. said This is a book that I am very proud to. This is a book that I am very proud to own. During the mid 80's Dr Hooks spoke at our church during an NAACP rally.
The author recounts his inspiring leadership role in the ongoing struggle for civil rights and racial equality in America and abroad.
