À propos de ce livre audio
Four-time mayor of Washington, DC, Marion Barry, Jr. tells his shocking and courageous life story, beginning
in the cotton fields in Mississippi to the executive offices of one of the most powerful cities in the world.
Known nationally as the disgraced mayor caught on camera smoking crack cocaine in a downtown hotel room
with a mistress, Marion Barry Jr. has led a controversial career. This provocative, captivating narrative follows the
Civil Rights activist, going back to his Mississippi roots, his Memphis upbringing, and his academic school days, up
through his college years and move to Washington, DC, where he became actively involved in Civil Rights, community
activism, and bold politics.
In Mayor for Life, Marion Barry, Jr. tells all—including the story of his campaigns for mayor of Washington, his
ultimate rise to power, his personal struggles and downfalls, and the night of embarrassment, followed by his term
in federal prison and ultimately a victorious fourth term as mayor. From the man who, despite the setbacks, boldly
served the community of Washington, DC, this is his full story of courage, empowerment, hope, tragedy, triumph,
and inspiration.
