Summary:
"In this memoir, Alexander traces a remarkable series of events from his early life to the present, shaping him as a charismatic and influential leader whose impact continues to be felt today. From facing down racism to challenging the post-war Ontario establishment, from becoming Canada's first black member of Parliament to entertaining royalty as Ontario's lieutenant-governor, Alexander's is the ultimate uplifting Canadian success story, the embodiment of what defines Canada."--Jacket.
