Synopsis

There are many ways to protest...many ways to address injustices, many ways to right a wrong. A real leader sets positive examples to empower others. This book is about such a leader--a farmer, janitor, coal miner, factory worker, land owner, and landlord--who embodied leadership while living in the Jim Crow South for 99 years. He lived a life of protest during a time when protest cost people their lives. His life of protest was highlighted when, at the age of 95, he gifted then-Senator Barack Obama who went on to serve as America's 44th President, with a hand-made cane.Griot extraordinaire, he shared stories of standing up and speaking out against the injustices prevalent in America for a major portion of his life. This book shares his stories validated through historical facts and events that underscore the many ways to protest: education, voting, self-respect, hard work--all that he and his wife instilled in their 10 children who have all gone on to become leaders in their own right.Standing up and speaking out are the marks of a true leader and these are the valuable leadership lessons you will learn when you read this powerful book.
