 | Roots Run Deep by Byron Laursen, J. C. Watts
In THE ROOTS RUN DEEP [Watts] tells of his rise from poverty in a small Oklahoma town to college football hero and the distinguished leadership position he now holds in Congress. Along the way, he takes readers on a personal journey through America of the late 20th century from his experiences with victims of the Oklahoma City bombing to his grassroots urban renewal projects in New York City. Watts challenges national black leaders on race and victimhood, squarely confronts blacks on black racism, and offers a frank view of inside Washington, the players and personalities. A story of determination and courage, THE ROOTS RUN DEEP inspires, challenges, and most of all, restores the belief of the American people in its leaders. AUTHOR: Byron Laursen, J. C. Watts
