Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. When many people think of the homeless they picture people warming their hands over trash can fires and drinking out of brown paper sacks. But what many people don't realize is that literally anyone can be homeless. Throughout history, many notable figures have been homeless at some point in time. The people in this book are all well-known individuals who have all confessed to having been homeless in the past. Take a look inside to find out which stars of today and of the past who have found themselves down on their luck and out on the streets. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.

Defiant is Wade's homage to the Black people he knew in Mansfield as much as it is his story about growing up there. These were the people who nurtured and loved him even as they fought for their own survival under Jim Crow. It is also the story of a youngster trying to find meaning and purpose in a defining era where issues such as civil rights, women's rights, immigrant rights, and resistance against the Vietnam War played out regularly on the news. It is about finding one's voice and joining the fight for justice and equality.
Wade lives in East Orange, New Jersey, with his wife.
