Description: "Among the important stories that need to be told about noteworthy Canadians, Lincoln Alexander's sits all the top of the list. Born in Toronto in 1922, the son of a maid and a railway porter, Alexander embarked on an exemplary life path that has involved military service for his country, a successful political career, a thriving law practice, and vocal advocacy on subjects ranging from anti-racism to the importance of education."

"In this memoir, Alexander traces a remarkable series of events from his early life to the present, shaping him as a charismatic and influential leader whose impact continues to be felt today. From facing down racism to challenging the post-war Ontario establishment, from becoming Canada's first black member of Parliament to entertaining royalty as Ontario's lieutenant-governor, Alexander's is the ultimate uplifting Canadian success story, the embodiment of what defines Canada."--Jacket
