Book Reviews of A Choice of Weapons (Borealis Books)
Book Review: The intimacy of the life of a black man in America
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has changed my life. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Parks here in Minnesota during a homecoming to celebrate his life's work. A choice of weapons vividly illustrates how Mr. Parks overcame all of the odds one man could face, partiuclarly a black man in the twentieth century. His journey from Kansas to St.Paul to Harlem and beyond is a must read for anyone who wants to truly understand the hypocrisy and paradox of the American ideal.
