Title: Each One Teach One Condition: New Subtitle: Up and Out of Poverty; Memoirs of a Street Activist Author: Ron Casanova, Stephen Blackburn Format: Paperback EAN: 9780810145054 ISBN: 9780810145054 Publisher: Northwestern University Press Genre: Biography Topic: Society & Culture, Social Sciences, Law & Politics, History Release Date: 31/05/2023 Description: Each One Teach One chronicles Ron Casanova's struggle out of poverty, homelessness, and drug addiction to find dignity and purpose in life. Through his own awakening, this Black, Puerto Rican activist ultimately finds his answer in helping other people. Born into a dysfunctional family and placed in an orphanage on Staten Island at an early age, Casanova faced overwhelming odds. His story illuminates some of the major events of our time, including the "police riot" at Tompkins Square, the "Housing Now" march of the homeless on Washington, and community takeovers of housing in Kansas City, New York, and Philadelphia.
Underlying Each One Teach One, with its vivid cast of characters and intimate descriptions of Harlem and other urban areas, is the profound sense that no matter what your circumstance, you can use your past experience to help others. Ultimately, Casanova's story is a message of hope for the future and for the possibility of self-sufficiency and self-empowerment for each individual.
