1. John Conyers III

My Father's House

Conyers III’s My Father’s House is a beautifully written book about the life and career of a remarkable man, penned by a devoted son who’s following in his father’s giant footsteps. John Conyers Jr.’s uniquely American journey from Detroit’s striving Black Bottom community to the dean of the U.S. House of Representatives is full of heroics, heartbreaks, and history. If you visit my old friend’s remarkable house and witness his lasting legacies and “unbridled imaginings,” you’ll emerge wiser and more grateful for a world where good people get up every day to work toward better tomorrows for all of us. — President Bill Clinton "Congressman John Conyers Jr. was a towering figure in American politics, a relentless advocate for justice and equality whose impact spanned generations. In My Father’s House, John Conyers III offers a deeply honest account of what it means to carry his father’s iconic legacy while forging his own path… John’s ability to bridge the personal and political makes him a voice we should all be paying attention to. This is more than a memoir—it’s a call to action for generational change and a roadmap for leadership that future generations can look to.” — Anthony Scaramucci, Founder of SkyBridge Capital and former White House Communications Director “Urgent and packed with historical resonance, My Father’s House is a memoir that will stand the test of time.”  — Bakari Sellers, New York Times Bestselling author of My Vanishing Country and The Moment “It’s not an easy assignment to capture a legacy of this magnitude, but John Conyers III brilliantly contextualizes his father’s enormous, historical imprint with humanity and vulnerability. It is not so much a memoir as it is a love letter that allows us an intimate look into a cherished and tender relationship between father and son, and between a dedicated public servant and his city.”  — Jemele Hill, Author and contributing writer for The Atlantic
