Otis and I attended Booker T. Washington High School together in Memphis where he was a serious, articulate, and highly motivated student. Later I knew him in Detroit where I pastored a church, and he was a legal trailblazer as a member of the state supreme court and as general counsel of General Motors. I ran into him often through my civil rights work. He was steadfast and uncompromising about truth and justice and brought dedication and zeal to all he did. This book is a fitting tribute to his life.--Benjamin Hooks "former executive director of the NAACP and chair of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights "
