Brandon P. Fleming grew up in an abusive home and was shuffled through school his passing grades a nod to his skill on the basketball court not his presence in the classroom. He turned to the streets and drug deals by fourteen saved only by the dream of basketball stardom. When he suffered a career - ending injury during his first semester at a Division I school he dropped out of college toiling on an assembly line until depression drove him to the edge. Miraculously his life was spared. Returning to college Fleming was determined to reinvent himself as a scholar to replace illiteracy with mastery over language to go from being ignored and unseen to commanding attention. He immersed himself in the work of Black thinkers from the Harlem Renaissance to present day. Crucially he found debate which became the means by which he transformed his life and the tool he would use to transform the lives of others teaching underserved kids to be intrusive in places that are not inclusive eventually at Harvard University where he would make champions and history. Through his personal narrative readers witness Fleming's transformation self - education and how he takes what he learns about words and power to help others like himself. Miseducated is an honest memoir about resilience visibility role models and overcoming all expectations.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Miseducated : A Memoir\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780306925139\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 272 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 6\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Book Delivered","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49587536953649,"sku":"IN-G-9780306925139","price":25.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780306925139-miseducated-a-memoir","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
