Graduating from Yale, his options were limitless. \u003cbr\u003e He chose public service. \u003cbr\u003e He chose to move to a rough neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey, where he worked as a tenants rights lawyer before winning a seat on the City Council. In 2006, he was elected mayor, and for more than seven years he was the public face of an American city that had gone decades with too little positive national attention and investment. In 2013, Booker became the first African American elected to represent New Jersey in the U.S. Senate. \u003cbr\u003e In United,  Cory Booker draws on personal experience to issue a stirring call to reorient our nation and our politics around the principles of compassion and solidarity. He speaks of rising above despair to engage with hope, pursuing our shared mission, and embracing our common destiny. \u003cbr\u003e Here is his account of his own political education, the moments some entertaining, some heartbreaking, all of them enlightening that have shaped his civic vision. Here are the lessons Booker learned from the remarkable people who inspired him to serve, men and women whose example fueled his desire to create opportunities for others. Here also are his observations on the issues he cares about most deeply, from race and crime and the crisis of mass incarceration to economic and environmental justice. \u003cbr\u003e Hope is the active conviction that despair will never have the last word, Booker writes in this galvanizing book. In a world where we too easily lose touch with our neighbors, he argues, we must remember that we all rise or fall together and that we must move beyond mere tolerance for one another toward a deeper connection: love.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49527661986065,"sku":"GOR009084726","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49759391547665,"sku":"CIN1101965169G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50372000186641,"sku":"CIN1101965169A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50914074919185,"sku":"CIN1101965169VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1101965169.jpg?v=1751080781"},{"product_id":"united-book-cory-booker-9781101965184","title":"United","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e BESTSELLER .

This complete edition of the Kerner report includes the full text, as well as important graphs, statistics, and supporting materials. The subject of “The Riot Report,” a recent episode of the PBS documentary series American Experience, the Kerner Commission report was issued to address the urban riots during the summer of 1967, and to provide suggestions for improving race relations. Contrary to commonly held beliefs that largely blamed young Black men for the riots, this groundbreaking report pointed to a lack of economic opportunity, disastrous social service programs, white racism, police violence, and a biased national media. This federal report is being reissued to accompany the new book edited by Alan Curtis, Creating Justice in a Multiracial Democracy, in which foremost thought leaders examine what, if any, progress has been made and provide recommendations for policy initiatives.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51007672451345,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007676317969,"sku":"NIN9780807786086","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/080778608X.jpg?v=1762597017"},{"product_id":"stand-book-cory-booker-9781250436733","title":"Stand","description":"In trying times, our nation demands more of us.
