Inhaltsangabe:

Anthony L. Parker—honored as the Florida Highway Patrol Trooper of the Year—is lured back to his hometown, Quincy, Florida. Within 5 months, Parker is accused of a crime he didn’t commit. After being tried in a Kangaroo Court—under the auspices of the federal judicial system—Parker is falsely branded a drug dealer, and sentenced to 27 ½ years in prison.Decades later, Parker discovers the truth about Quincy—once named the richest per capita community in the U.S., while simultaneously dominating one of the poorest black settlements in Florida. Suddenly, the ghost stories and whisperings of old men in the projects become solid clues— leading to an underground culture that kept Quincy locked in the past while Civil Rights marched right on by.This true story recounts the events that led to Parker’s remarkable ascension to the top—thanks to the mentoring of family, church, coaches, and teachers—followed by his descent into the federal prison system, and culminating in his inspiring climb which has lifted others to the heights of excellence.
