Ms. Rice, thank you for POWER CONCEDES NOTHING and your life long commitment to justice, equity and fairness. I am giving your book to my family and friends as gifts this year. Also, I have made it required reading for my teenage daughters. My wife and I worked in Watts and the Jordan Downs housing development in 1993-1994. Your experiences and insights are similar to what we knew to be true. You have written a powerful reflection of life under the gun in the community where I grew up and returned. Hope amid despair is realized among those who strive to give life a chance against the odds. Your book captures the essence of lingering neglect and self-induced commitments to make change possible in an environment that denied the value of human beings who reside there and a police force that failed "To Serve and Protect" them.Rev.

I actually have the 2014 version (I think it is just a different cover), but I see the reviews are all on this one. This is a fascinating and gripping read, very well written, and so important and helpful if you want to understand the history of civil rights and the legal system in Los Angeles over the last few decades! It is memoir style which makes it extra engaging to me. Reading this is a bit reminiscent of reading 'A Question of Intent' by David Kessler, about fighting big tobacco, another great book.

This is great read and an absolute must for the next generation of social justice warrior.

Riveting testimony to the "Power of One". Connie Rice unveils a vivid account of her early years, realizing the inequities that abound in her community, and setting her goals to eradicate them. She presents a very transformative story of how she skillfully battled/negotiated for social jusice in --- the LA police department,the local and federal justice systems, the LA school system, and the monumental gang violence in LA. Connie shines as a "beacon of light and hope" for those who have no voice in this world. Provacative yet passionate, this book is a call to arms to raise the level of consciousness in our communities. A must read!
