Cedric's story was inspiring to me. Reading about his high school and college life made me realize the true struggles that minorities encounter on a day to day basis. Cedric was truly a strong, determined young man who defeated all odds.
As I reflect about the book I think my favorite part was in the author's notes. A professor at Harvard showed his graduate class a slide of the book and said he heard that Cedric was working at the GAP in Providence. That's when Cedric interupted his professor and said he was at Harvard in graduate school!!!
