Stokes, a prominent African-American member of the National Republican Party. Known as Stokey, he was born just forty years after the abolition of slavery. But by the time he became a pioneer in the fields of law, legislation, and politics -- during the turbulent and transformative 1960s and 70s -- contemporary associations of the GOP with the party of Lincoln had faded. Stokes's choice to remain a Republican against the tide of black Democratic political loyalty took courage. He would live to become Seattle's first black state legislator and serve as Washington State's first African-American district court judge. \u003cbr\u003e With \u003ci\u003eSong for My Father\u003c\/i\u003e, Ms. Stokes pays tribute to a man whose love for his country, his family, and his people made a world of difference for generations to come. Stokes's life is a compelling example of what American Dreams are made of.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Stokes Oliver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.56h x 6.28w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743474054\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOliver, Stephanie Stokes:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Stephanie Stokes Oliver is the author of \u003ci\u003eDaily Cornbread: 365 Secrets for a Healthy Mind, Body, and Spirit\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eSeven Soulful Secrets for Finding Your Purpose \u0026amp; Minding Your Mission\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Song for My Father: Memoir of an All-American Family\u003c\/i\u003e.
