Book Reviews of The Measure of a Man: A Spiritual Autobiography (Oprah's Book Club)

Book Review: A fine example of self-discipline
Summary: 5 Stars

I wanted to read this book, so I could find out how a person could stay so 'calm' in the midst of adversity. In an era when black people where on the outside and still are to some extent, Sydney was able to rise above the hate the anger and the ignorance of his associates to arrive to himself. A brilliant, spokeman, actor and person

Shedread.
