Dreams From My Father - Obama
Finished pretty quickly. I liked it even though it jumped around a little. Obama had a really interesting come up. I'm not sure why but lately I've been wanting to go to Africa and reading about him going and finding his roots enforces that idea.
Autobiography of Thurgood Marshall
Thurgood Marshall worked his ass off. Interesting to read about the conflicts between him and Malcolm X and MLK. I like how this book really touches on where the changes actually took place and who helped spur those changes during the civil rights era.
Autobiography of Booker T Washington
Dude also worked his ass off. Awesome book and very inspiring.
How to Win Friends and Influence People
Of course everybody has to read this.
I read this one a long ass time ago.
Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace
This is an incredible story. Dude from the ghetto in Newark, NJ works his ass off and earns a full ride to Yale. Dude graduates with a double major and honors. He ends up back in his old hood where he continues to sell drugs and is murdered. Can drag a little but it's a rollercoaster.
