The best review so far of a man who was without a doubt the outstanding intellect of the 20th century. All Americans should read this book, especially the young, as ignorance of this man and his accomplishments is a sad comment on our culture. His outstanding accomplishments stand the test of time despite being hounded by racism and McCarthyism. The only criticism - I would have liked to have seen the Peekskill riots explored in greater depth. I would urge everyone to do themselves a favor and educate themselves about this man.

This book is just beautiful. It is a wonderful collection of prayers and poetry. The very first one entitled An African Canticle is worth the price alone.
