Stokes, a prominent African-American member of the National Republican Party. Known as \"Stokey,\" he was born just forty years after the abolition of slavery. But by the time he became a pioneer in the fields of law, legislation, and politics -- during the turbulent and transformative 1960s and 70s -- contemporary associations of the GOP with the \"party of Lincoln\" had faded. Stokes's choice to remain a Republican against the tide of black Democratic political loyalty took courage. He would live to become Seattle's first black state legislator and serve as Washington State's first African-American district court judge. \u003cbr\u003e With \u003ci\u003eSong for My Father\u003c\/i\u003e, Ms. Stokes pays tribute to a man whose love for his country, his family, and his people made a world of difference for generations to come. Stokes's life is a compelling example of what American Dreams are made of.","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43351870374143,"sku":"9780743474054","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780743474054_s600x595.jpg?v=1776100761","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780743474054","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
