I like your review! Ethnic and racial discrimination is one of society's greatest tragedies. What you're born into is out of your control, so being harassed or discriminated against, on the basis of that can be really painful and an uphill struggle. I'm glad this book would inspire and motivate such people to fight against those odds and emerge victorious.

[Nisha DSouza]

Congratulations on the BOTD!

I am glad that Douglas shows that one can still succeed despite the presence of seemingly insurmountable odds on his path. I have always enjoy moving stories, and this is one that I will definitely enjoy, as it is both inspirational and enlightening. The fact that racial bigotry is highlighted and addressed in-depth makes the book very informative.
Many thanks for the amazing review.

[Khushi RBY Yadav]

Such a great work!! The review is so thorough that I belive I know now what will come from the book.
The effort to highlight the racial discrimination in modern world and sharing own experience takes a lot of courage. Also I liked how the author survived in such environment though he had to face many obstacles.

[Chinazo Anozie]

I'm not really into autobiography so I may pass on this book, but it does sound like an insightful read on how Douglas faced and overcame prejudices because of the colour of his skin.

[Asma Aisha Ansari]

Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream by Dr. Frank L. Douglas sounds deeply inspiring. Frank's journey from British Guiana to the U.S., grappling with racial discrimination, and excelling in medical research seems compelling.

[Boddeda Priyanka]

Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream" by Dr. Frank 'Tick' Coleman is a compelling autobiography that offers a profound look into the life of an African American educator and coach. Through vivid storytelling, Coleman chronicles his journey from the segregated South to his impactful career at Lincoln University. The book not only highlights his personal triumphs and struggles but also serves as a broader commentary on racial injustice and resilience. Great review ,good work .

[T V Dharani]

I agree with you after reading the sample; there is a lot of technical information that just seems to pass over my head. I am not a fan of memoirs, but otherwise, it sounds great from your review.

[Jessica Uchechi Azuka]

So this book is more like a memoir and autobiography of the author that tells his life experiences while highlighting major themes and issues like racism. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

[Yahya Amir Anwer]

It sounds like a heartbreaking yet inspirational book. Everyone has the right to a higher education, and no one should be denied a promotion due to their race. I'm very happy the author continued to pursue his goals in spite of all those setbacks. Fantastic review!

[Runan]

Douglas is from British Guiana. On receiving a scholarship, he moves to the US for studies. He faces cultural differences and shockingly high levels of racial discrimination while in the US. The author showcases the racial discrimination that is rampant in educational and business organizations and highlights the ups and downs of his life. Well-done on the review.

[Sandeep Moses Arulnesan]

Racial discrimination when moving to a different country has become a huge problem. People are discriminated on their ethnicity and colour. I'm happy the author voiced out through this book. Thanks for the review. Congrats on the BOTD!
