About this title

About the Author

This book is about my journey on the road to civil rights and why I am taking it. It is the story of an ordinary man caught up in some rather extraordinary events and the decisions that I made. These decisions drastically changed my life as well as the lives of my wife, my children, and their children, as well as other family members and friends. The book is largely spent helping me and others understand why I made those decisions, some of which were very different from the majority opinions prevailing at the time they were made.
