This biography tells the story of Harry Bonner Sr., who has been mentoring young people of color in Albion, Michigan for decades. Chapters describe the Bonner familyÕs arrival in Albion, HarryÕs school years, meeting and marrying his beloved wife Jerlene, and his very first mentoring job as a hall monitor at Albion High School in 1975. The book goes on to describe the lessons he learned from his own mentors over the years, the non-profit organizations that Bonner formed to continue his quest to help kids, and key partners. Powerful economic, cultural, and political forces in Albion meant that BonnerÕs work always had to adapt to survive. Alternating with the historical sections of the biography are individual chapters featuring interviews with some of the children Ð now adults Ð to whom Mr. Bonner became especially close; who he, in fact, considers just some of his many Ògodchildren.Ó
