Book description
Como miembro de los Chicago Bulls campeones de la NBA en 1991, un Hodges vestido de dashiki entregaba una carta escrita a mano al presidente George H. W. Bush exigiéndole que hiciera más para abordar el racismo y la desigualdad económica. Hodges también fue activista y portavoz sindical, impulsó un boicot contra Nike y denunció enérgicamente la brutalidad policial a raíz de las imágenes de la paliza a Rodney King que dieron la vuelta al mundo. Pero su franqueza le salió cara: en el mejor momento de su carrera, tras diez temporadas en la NBA, fue excluido de la competición por usar su condición de atleta profesional para defender causas justas.En estas poderosas, apasionadas y cautivadoras memorias, el dos veces campeón de la NBA y triplista insuperable comparte las experiencias de toda una vida dedicada a mejorar las condiciones de la comunidad negra en Estados Unidos: desde los encuentros con otros destacados activistas negros como Nelson Mandela, Coretta Scott King o Jim Brown, hasta su relación con figuras como Michael Jordan y George Bush padre. Una cosa está clara: Craig Hodges nunca se ha acobardado a la hora de cantar las verdades al poder.

Thanks to this app, I can enjoy the world of literature without missing a beat in my fast-paced life. 📱 Carrying my library in my pocket – this app makes every moment a reading opportunity! 📚👜 ListenBook has changed the way I listen to audiobooks. The app is so easy to use. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre. I was thoroughly impressed by this audiobook. The combination of engaging content and skilled narration made my daily commute something to look forward to. The narrator's timing and intonation were spot-on, enhancing rather than distracting from the material. Definitely worth a credit!

Language courses on audiobooks helped me pick up a new language effortlessly. Fairly enjoyable, but forgettable. I didn’t have any major complaints, but I also don’t see myself revisiting this one. It was a decent way to spend a few hours, though.
