Gillmore takes you on a journey from the South Side of Chicago to the the West Lawn of the White House, from the hallways of an HBCU in Louisiana to the barrios of Puerto Rico. And educational and biographical narrative of Dr. Shields' life that is both simple and complex, this challenging book will leave you a different, more engaged and enlightened person. Whether you identify deeply with Dr. Shields' narrative or feel like you are traveling alongside him on a foreign journey, his story - and the accompanying commentary on some of our most pressing educational and societal issues - will challenge you to do and be better.
