5.0

This well-illustrated children's book portrays a persistent, courageous gentleman who used his talent for teaching in Sunday School, leading a Boy Scout troop, and training participants in the Great Savannah Boycott which ended with Savannah as the first southern city to end segregation. He was W.W. Law qualified as a school teacher when he graduated from college, but because of his association with the NAACP no school dared to hire him. He worked for the U.S. Postal Service as a mailman for 40 years. Delivering Justice portrays one of those people I'd like for a neighbor and friend, and after reading the book I feel as if I had known him.
