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.
