Greetings Mr. Harvey, educator, coach, baseball legend, author, journalist, lawyer, defender, organizer, trailblazer, CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS, my hero and so many wonderful things to so many people.
I am honored to have met you. Thank you for your selfless service and contributions to our community. Thanks for sharing yourself and talents with the world.
I thank you for defending all of those kids during Freaknik who did not deserve to be arrested.
I hope you are very proud of your accomplishments because you should be. I am!
Freaknik Lawyer: A Memoir on the Craft of Resistance is an excellent book.
It is my prayer that God blesses you and your family real good forevermore.
