From the author of What Would Martin Say? and Behind the Dream comes a story ninety-two years in the making. Last of the Lions is two histories woven together. It's a personal history; the evocative life of Clarence B. Jones, from his Jim Crow-era upbringing living at the "Blessed Sacrament School for Colored and Native American Boys" through the election of the first Black U.S. President and the chaos beyond... and hundreds of amazing moments in between. But it's also the coming-of-age story of this country, with the kind of intimate and thought-provoking perspectives that unfurl in classics like Soul on Ice, On the Road, and The Feminine Mystique. Jones participated in nearly every one of the most important political and social movements from the '50s until today, seven crucial decades that have defined the "American Experience." During that time, the landscape of America's relationship with her Black citizenry has shifted.
