Dr. Smith is an excellent professor, mentor, and writer. This book not only contains his thoughts on 30 years of living as a black and blind professor, but also a lifetime of wisdom and self-reflection. To know Dr. Smith is to see his passion in action, and to read this book is to see where that passion is rooted. I am endlessly grateful for the perspectives I have gained from Dr. Smith's teaching/writing and I would urge anyone reading this to get their copy of his book not as a favor to him, but as a favor to themselves.
