Book Review: Be Not Afraid by Jack Drake

Progressive Alabama attorney Jack Drake has written his memoir, Be Not Afraid. In it, he carries his readers through decades of activism and litigation for civil and human rights causes. I recently reviewed Be Not Afraid for Alabama Writers’ Forum. My review states that “Drake was a force during a pivotal time in the story of the United States, and particularly of Alabama. His awakening and action should strike a chord with those who lived through those turbulent times, and ring alarms for the turbulent times we face today.” You can read the review at the link below:
