520 1 $a"James Louis Helped raise Ward Connerly after his father deserted the family and his mother died early. But he did more than put food on the table and a roof over young Ward's head. Although he never got past the third grade, Uncle James stood firmly for manliness, religion, hard work, personal loyalty and other virtues that have been called obsolete in our postmodern world. Uncle James begged to differ. His wisdom was expressed in folk maxims - "Don't stand there waiting for somebody to give you something"; "The smallest pancake has two sides"; "Don't bite the hand that feeds you"; and the like - but it amounted to a moral curriculum that formed Ward Connerly and gave him the courage to pick up Martin Luther King's fallen standard of colorblindness, making it again an active principle in our national life. And Connerly believes that what this simple but profound man lived by might also be the starting point for a discussion about character that America desperately needs to have."--BOOK JACKET.
