Fraternity

In "Fraternity," Diane Brady recounts the inspiring true story of a group of young men transformed by the mentorship of Reverend John Brooks, a visionary professor at the College of the Holy Cross. Following the aftermath of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, Brooks dedicated himself to recruiting African American high school students with great potential, providing them not only with full scholarships but also with unwavering support throughout their college years. The book highlights the journeys of five students, including future Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Pulitzer Prize winner Edward P. Jones, illustrating the profound impact of education and mentorship in shaping their futures. "Fraternity" serves as a powerful testament to how one person's belief in others can ignite their path to success.
