Requests:  0 Summary:  Growing up in an abusive home, Fleming's grades were a nod to his skill on the basketball court, not his presence in the classroom. He turned to the streets and drug deals by fourteen, and the dream of basketball stardom ended with an injury during his first semester at a Division I school. Eventually Fleming became determined to reinvent himself as a scholar, and immersed himself in the work of Black thinkers from the Harlem Renaissance to present day. He found debate, which became the means by which he transformed his life and the tool he would use to transform the lives of others. His memoir is a tale of resilience, visibility, role models, and overcoming all expectations. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 378.12092 Fleming Fl   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 378.12092 Fleming Fl   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Biography B Fleming Fl BIOGRAPHY Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 378.12092 Fleming Fl   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
