As a member of the 1991 NBA-champion Chicago Bulls, a dashiki-clad Hodges delivered a handwritten letter to President George H.W. Bush demanding that he do more to address racism and economic inequality. Hodges was also an activist and union spokesman, pushing for a boycott of Nike and strongly denouncing police brutality in the wake of images of the beating of Rodney King that went around the world. But his frankness paid off: in the prime of his career, after ten seasons in the NBA, he was excluded from competition for using his status as a professional athlete to defend just causes. In these powerful, passionate and captivating memoirs, the two-time NBA champion and unsurpassed triplist shares the experiences of a lifetime dedicated to improving the conditions of the black community in the United States: from encounters with other prominent black activists such as Nelson Mandela, Coretta Scott King or Jim Brown, to his relationship with figures such as Michael Jordan and George Bush senior. One thing is clear: Craig Hodges has never flinched when it comes to singing truths to power.
