Descrizione Up from the Projects: An Autobiography
In this very frank and compelling autobiography, Walter E. Williams sets the record straight on his very public life, and in the process discusses some of the past in general-- contrasting growing up black and poor in the 1940s and 1950s to the same today. As Williams says early on in his story, "just because you know where a person ended up in life doesn't necessarily provide you with any certainties as to where he might have begun." In Up From the Projects, he recounts many achievements that would have been unfathomable by his ancestors, underscoring his belief that, unlike so many other societies around the world, in America one needn't start out at, or anywhere near, the top in order to eventually reach it.
