A memoir by the late Congressman details how his experiences as a sharecroppers' son in volatile South Baltimore shaped his life in activism, explaining how government oversight can become a positive part of a just American collective.
What The Reviewers Say
Like the man at its center, We're Better Than This: My Fight for the Future of Our Democracy is impressive on multiple levels.
Not just for its political implications, but for the everyday lessons inside it, We’re Better Than This is a book to have now.
... the congressman's dedication to civil service, desire to mentor younger generations, and admiration for his colleagues shines through.
Excellent.
