Amazon lists this book as 208 pages, but they must be including the 30 pages of photos, too. I devoured this memoir. I had the honor of meeting Marian Wright Edelman at a Town Hall meeting in Los Angeles a few years ago, and she was one of the most eloquent and amazing speakers I have ever seen. She is also a warm and genuinely “interested” person. Author Jim Collins said that some of the best advice he received from his mentor at Stanford, John Gardner, was to “be less interesting and more interested.” Edelman has had such a tremendous impact on America by being interested in the futures of every child in this country. You will be a better person just by reading this book.
