Summary: A Dream Fulfilled
Comment: Janet Langhart Cohen's story is the story of one woman's successful struggle to overcome the racial divide that has separated America into two nations. She was born at the "right time" and came of age as the Civil Rights Movement was beginning to make its demands and have its voices heard. She was not handed success on a silver platter. Her rage, albeit tempered by age, experience and success, is never far from her heart or mind, nor should it be.
Yet Mrs Cohen's story is much more than the fulfillment of one person's dream - it represents a significant step in fulfilling Dr. King's dream for all Americans which he articulated from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in August 1963. We have a long way to go, but Janet Cohen's story, and the fact it was achieved - and is being lived -- largely under the radar screen, itself sends a message of hope and encouragement that we are making progress in achieving the Constitution's mission of forming "a more perfect union."

Summary: inspiring
Comment: As a minority woman I was enaged and inspired by this book. No one is defined by one thing and she manages to show many of the different aspects and difficulites that one must go through. She is not always happy, but she is always truthful to herself and the ideals her mother set forth.
She and this story are a true testmement to the American dream and how if you always try to see the good in others they can never hold you down.

Summary: A Moving First Hand Account on Race and Social Movement
Comment: Janet Langhart Cohen's life has taken her from the projects in Indianapolis to Pentagon in Washington DC, with stops along the way that will keep you riveted to your seat. This book offers an interesting look into various social movements in this country, as well as a different take on the importance of America's military. With recent news regarding Emmett Till and military abuses in Iraq, this book is an important piece of history that should be read by all Americans of every color.
