About This Item
Phoenix; (2015): A.W.O.L.. Octavo. xii, 535 pages, One of the outstanding civic and religious leaders in Phoenix, who led the fight against the racism of Gov. Evan Mecham. While thoughtful Arizonans were embarrassed by a ignorant man who referred to blacks as "pickaninnies", the legislature impeached him with only a handful of pro-Mecham dissidents including Jan Brewer who herself became governor. Here is a story of a man who as a child experienced racism in Kansas and became a major Baptist preacher in Phoenix and helped win the battle for the Martin Luther King Day in Arizona (after the NFL cancelled the Super Bowl and NBA finals). Boldly inscribed: "Julie, you are the seed of an awesome man of God and fighter for justice!" Warren H. Stewart Proverbs 16:3, 8/6/15. Bound in pictorial paper wraps. Near fine.
