In the Words of Patrice Gaines
"Len Cooper is ample proof that every Black American man's story is not the same. From a boy in brutal segregated Alabama to a homeless man in the nation's capital, from seeking the priesthood to becoming a writer and world traveler, Cooper ultimately finds solace and 'home' in a land once thought foreign."
— Patrice Gaines, author of Laughing in the Dark: From Colored Girl to Woman of Color, a Journey from Prison to Power
