'..illustrated by Benny Andrews, shows what one man can achieve. Denied the chance to be a teacher, Westly Wallace Law was encouraged by his grandmother to 'be somebody'. In a time when lynching was a weekly event, Law's job as a postman gave him access to all races and the opportunity to get positive action for many, such as the right to vote...Throughout his life, this humble but might man lived frugally and happily kept a low profile, despite changing the future for many. This book...can be read and enjoyed by adults and children and give a great insight into how far black people have come and what can be achieved.'
