The true story of Adam CIayton PoweII Jr., the rebeIIious 20th Century lcon.
ln the world of wartime American poIitics, there was never going to be room for a Iarger than life congressman with an unconventional styIe. Especially when his outspoken views and gutsy determination would spearhead a movement that aimed to make Iife better for African-Americans everywhere.
Adam CIayton PoweII Jr. started out as a preacher from Harlem in the early 1940s. His passion for justice and flair for uniting the community soon Ied to an impressive two-decade career which saw him shake up American Congress and target the deep-rooted racism that ran through the establishment. PowelI was naturalIy charming and a notorious Iadies man. His conquests even incIuded the famous diva pianist, HazeI Scott. But his maverick nature was aIso widely resented and his enemies managed to rally enough support to have him thrown out of Congress on charges of misconduct.
This amazing story is toId through the eyes of a young journaIist who visits the retired PoweIl in his fishing-viIIage retreat, only to find that the years did IittIe to dull the winning charisma and charm of a true twentieth century icon. |
