Brimner's engaging narrative style gives quietly forceful life to this biography of a man whose heritage nurtured his lifelong participation in nonviolent solutions to social injustice. The telling is sometimes straightforward, sometimes speculative ("The stories made Bayard's heart ache"). Many archival photos, some depicting violence, extend the gravity of the story. Source notes are included.
