We all have friends. We all have parents. We may have a partner or other half. We all have teachers. We love and respect all of them and hopefully, they do too. But have we ever wondered why we do that? Why do we have to love someone who brought us into this world? Why do we love a person who is not related to us whatsoever, but has a connection with us, and hence we like to hang around them? Why do we respect someone who is being paid to do what makes him respectable? The answer to all these is simple. They make us a better version of ourselves. Without these people in our lives, we won''t be as good as we are right now. It doesn''t matter where we stand right now in our lives, there would always be someone backing you up whenever you feel low. Read this motivation manifesto to walk through this journey of life with confidence and joy. 

This biography of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, the white commander of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry of African American soldiers, presents a portrait of the son of a wealthy Boston abolitionist who never fully reconciled his racial prejudices yet went on to head the North's first black regiment.

Tells of the efforts of Tunis Campbell, a black carpetbagger and fellow abolitionist and friend of Frederick Douglass, to lift his race to equal participation in American society. Duncan focuses on Campbell's determined work to push radical reforms, draft a new constitution for Georgia, and pass laws designed to ensure equality for all.
