Haskins recounts Jackson's South Carolina upbringing during the '40s and '50s, his education, and his involvement in the civil rights movement. Attention is given to his numerous accomplishments, including the PUSH EXCEL project designed to inspire teens to succeed, running for political office, and becoming a negotiator in world affairs. This easy-to-follow biography also includes the "chinks in his armor" that have thrown impediments in Jackson's road to success.
