Is anybody here familiar with Tookie Williams??
I recently saw the movie "Redemption" and thought his life story so far was amazing!

In his autobiography, Tookie describes his journey from a childhood in South Central Los Angeles, to his co-founding of the Crips youth gang as a teenager, to his redemption over the past 23 years incarcerated on San Quentin's death row. All of Tookie's proceeds from the sale of this book will be invested in programs to assist at-risk children. He will receive none of the books' revenues. From Tookie's autobiography you can also learn about his nomination for a Nobel Prize for Peace and Literature. www.tookie.com/
