As part of a Master's program, I was given the option to read several books for a project and selected this one. I was not disappointed, and this book was probably the best one I read all summer. Robert Moses explains his role in the Civil Rights movement of the 60s and the Algebra Project movement of today with vivid detail. He makes his points clearly, and instead of simply describing the problems he presents solutions that are so logical you will want to get involved. For any educator or advocate, this book is a must read.
