When Hurricane took the microphone, he ignited many thunderous emotions in his speech that I was never prepare to handle. He landed many punches very contrary to expectation - - - he was not landing those punches at racism, but at the human conscience regardless of color or race. His presentation was not about racism, but about the need to unleash the human conscience inside everyone. What went wrong? Rubin "Horricane" Carter at the Chicago Book Expo, 2000. |
| Paradox of Darkness: Hurricane continued his story by
telling us he was born into racism 64 years ago and racism had always been the forefront
of his life. At the prime of his life, in the pinnacle of his boxing career, he was
unjustly snatched away and pushed into prison to --- the lowest point of his life.
"I narrowly missed the electric chair!" he stressed. He refused
to accept the fact that he was guilty just because the jurors found him guilty due to
manufactured evidence. Hurricane by James S. Hirsch, 358 pages, $25.00 |
