"Dwayne Betts was incarcerated for 9 years in an unforgiving
place?a place in which he also discovered the incredible power of
books and reading. He's written his own life-changing book, which
may well prevent other young men from making that detour to prison.
A searing and ultimately uplifting story." Hill Harper, Best
selling author of "Letters to a Young Brother" and "Letters to a
Young Sister."
"I'm so happy to have been introduced to the miracle that is R.
Dwayne Betts' "A Question of Freedom." It tells so many important
stories: of senseless violence that plagues our streets, the
devastating affect our prison system is having on so many young
African-American males and the struggles we must all experience
before we can find redemption. But perhaps most importantly, it's a
story about the power of consciousness. A reminder that no matter
how confining our surroundings might seem or how bleak our future
might look, as long as we are in touch with our higher selves, we
can always tap into both the compassion and the toughness that is
in all of our hearts. Betts is a major new voice in hip-hop and I
look forward to being inspired by him for years to come." -Russell
Simmons, author of "Do You: 12 Laws to Access the Power in You to
Achieve Happiness and Success."
"This book is a lesson on living. How does one become a man after
being in a cell? " A Question of Freedom" is not a book of answer.
Instead, this memoir is a reminder that a black boy can turn his
world around. Betts shows us that words are key. This book will
unlock your compassion." --E. Ethelbert Miller, Director of the
African American Resource Center, Howard University
"At last a clear defining voice to express the feelings and
hardships of so many young black boys trapped in America's prisons.
A survivor among the countless lost souls, Dwayne loudly demands to
be heard--in a soft and honest tone. A magnificent journey!" - -Lou
Ferrante, author of "Unlocked: The Life and Crimes
