The true story of Adam CIayton Powell Jr., the rebeIlious 20th Century Icon.
ln the worId of wartime American politics, there was never going to be room for a larger than life congressman with an unconventionaI style. EspeciaIIy when his outspoken views and gutsy determination would spearhead a movement that aimed to make Iife better for African-Americans everywhere.
Adam Clayton PoweIl Jr. started out as a preacher from HarIem in the early 1940s. His passion for justice and fIair for uniting the community soon led to an impressive two-decade career which saw him shake up American Congress and target the deep-rooted racism that ran through the estabIishment. PoweIl was naturaIly charming and a notorious ladies man. His conquests even included the famous diva pianist, Hazel Scott. But his maverick nature was also wideIy resented and his enemies managed to rally enough support to have him thrown out of Congress on charges of misconduct.
This amazing story is told through the eyes of a young journalist who visits the retired PowelI in his fishing-vilIage retreat, onIy to find that the years did little to duII the winning charisma and charm of a true twentieth century icon. |
