I chose this book for my next read in honor of Black History Month.
How a young college film student became an activist for the exoneration for The Groveland Four, 66 years after their miscarriage of justice.
“You still have innocent people, innocent black men, every day being rejected, being dejected and being put in prison for things they have not done. So we’ve got to find a way to correct the injustice that a group of people have been experiencing for years.” – Carol Greenlee
“It takes but one person, one moment, one conviction, to start a ripple of change.” – Donna Brazile
Blurb:
This book will take you through my incredible four year quest for justice for The Groveland Four and teach you how to pursue your own causes, whatever they may be. It is a primer for positive action, a journey through Florida’s past as well as its future. Some of the things you will learn: everything takes more time than you think, nothing ever goes according to plan, help can come from unexpected places, time is on your side, everyone is connected to everyone else, you can reach your tipping point for success and not even realize it, your goals can change along the way, and flexibility is key. Let’s get started, shall we?
