Reviews
"An essential biography of one city's civil rights hero, wonderfully written and impeccably researched. . . . Carl Maxey was--in Kershner's fine telling--a man whose complicated life transcended its own gripping details to mirror a turbulent time in our recent history, a time when it seemed as if race and justice would forever run on separate tracks." Jess Walter, author ofThe Zero"Jim Kershner's biography of activist Carl Maxey is not only inspirational and informative, but because it is so well written it is also a pleasure to read." Carlos Schwantes, University of Missouri-St. Louis

Synopsis
Carl Maxey was, in his own words, a guy who started from scratch - black scratch. He was sent, at age five, to the scandal-ridden Spokane Children's Home and then kicked out at age eleven with the only other colored orphan. Yet Maxey managed to make a national name for himself, first as an NCAA championship boxer at Gonzaga University, and then as eastern Washington's first prominent black lawyer and a renowned civil rights attorney who always fought for the underdog. During the tumultuous civil rights and Vietnam War eras, Carl Maxey fought to break down color barriers in his hometown of Spokane and throughout the nation. As a defense lawyer, he made national headlines working on lurid murder cases and war-protest trials, including the notorious Seattle Seven trial. He even took his commitment to justice and antiwar causes to the political arena, running for the U.S. Senate against powerhouse senator Henry M. Jackson. In Carl Maxey : A Fighting Life, Jim Kershner explores the sources of Maxey's passions as well as the price he ultimately paid for his struggles. The result is a moving portrait of a man called a Type-A Gandhi by the New York Times, whose own personal misfortune spurred his lifelong, tireless crusade against injustice., Chronicles the incredible story of Carl Maxey (1924-1997), an African-American man from Spokane, Washington, who overcame years of struggle and adversity to become a champion college boxer, successful lawyer, civil rights leader, and a candidate for Senator in 1970., Carl Maxey was, in his own words, "a guy who started from scratch - black scratch." He was sent, at age five, to the scandal-ridden Spokane Children's Home and then kicked out at age eleven with the only other "colored" orphan.
