The Birth of a Radical is a memoir that recounts Clifton Reive Whitley Jr.’s life from childhood to adulthood. Despite being a semi-handicapped child, he eventually became a combat hero who was awarded with triple Bronze Stars. The book takes readers on a journey through American history as Whitley shares his experiences, from being a disenfranchised war veteran to becoming a vice-chairperson of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party.

In today’s society, where social and racial inequality is at the forefront of many conversations, Whitley’s story of defying societal norms can inspire readers. He is a man who has accomplished a lot, having served as a combat veteran, advisor to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in Mississippi, and founding member of a catfish farming cooperative. Mr. Clifton was born into a farming family as one of ten children. His memoir is an excellent source of inspiration for younger readers.
