Opis

What could compel a gifted athlete to walk away from the sport that he loved and the fame and fortune that comes with being a superstar? What could make him risk his freedom and even his life to help people who might as easily see him as a villain as a hero? Marcus loved playing football. He had dreamed of playing in the NFL, but he left it all behind to follow another dream. His new dream was to walk in the footsteps of the people who had struggled and sacrificed so that he could enjoy all the rights and liberties provided by America's Constitution. Marcus was an extraordinary young man who learned that his gifts, both physical and mental, were intended for more than scoring touchdowns and making money. His destiny was to create a movement that would transform his community and then the nation. Marcus knew that he couldn't do it alone. He needed help. Help came in the form of guidance from an older, wiser mentor...his Uncle Freddy...who saw his destiny even before he did. He also found help from a woman warrior named Harriet whose fearlessness and passion for justice matched his own. Marcus also knew that a dream doesn't become a reality without a plan. So, he looked to the leaders from the past for guidance and inspiration. In their victories as well as their defeats, he found clues and answers to the questions and problems that plagued his community today. And he used what he learned to devise the plan. Follow Marcus as he turns his dream into The Plan. Watch Marcus use The Plan to transform his community from an urban nightmare into a thriving marketplace where people, families and strangers alike could live, play and work together in harmony.
