I heard Mr. Bowman talking about his book on NPR last year, and I finally tracked down a copy to read.
It's an excellent memoir, giving a good overview of his life and of the work he's done in Washington DC since he was 13. Mr. Bowman's story is an inspirational one, and he's done a lot for a lot of people in his community over the years (especially young people). Well worth a read if you're at all interested in life inside DC.

Mr. Bowman's story is remarkable. He was a poor boy growing up on a farm, hating his limited life. He ran away from home at the age of 13 to Washington, D.C. of all places!
His biography is a look at life before, during, and after the Civil Rights revolution of the '60s.
It's also a look at life "downstairs" at the Capitol.
A gentle, sweet, uplifting read.

I have had the privilege of knowing Mr. Bowman for many years. His book is a story of dignity, determination and persistence.His story stands with many other distinguished titles in the canon of civil rights sagas, modern American history and memoirs.
