Description

A brand new edition, including the tale of the founding of the Harlem Kids’s Zone
 
Long before the avalanche of praise for his work—from Oprah Winfrey, from President Bill Clinton, from President Barack Obama—long before he become known for his talk show appearances, Members Project spots, and documentaries like Waiting for “Superman”, Geoffrey Canada used to be a small boy growing up scared at the mean streets of the South Bronx. His childhood world used to be one where “sidewalk boys” learned the codes of the block and were ranked during the rituals of fist, stick, and knife. Then the streets changed, and the stakes were given even higher. In his candid and riveting memoir, Canada relives a childhood by which violence stalked each street corner.
