Description
Stanley Tookie Williams' memoir is a gripping account of his personal revolution, from his early days as a Crips co-founder to his later work as an anti-gang activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
What began as a means of protection for his LA neighborhood quickly spiralled out of control, leading to a life of violence and arrest. However, Tookie maintained his innocence and worked tirelessly to prevent others from following his path, creating nationwide peace protocols and writing books to discourage adolescents from joining gangs.
This posthumous edition of Blue Rage, Black Redemption features a foreword by Tavis Smiley and an epilogue by Barbara Becnel, offering a unique insight into Tookie's life and legacy. A testament to the strength of the human spirit, the book is a powerful exploration of how rage can be turned into redemption.
