Norvel: An American Hero by Kenneth F. Conklin
5.0
I didn't even know this book was being worked on. This man, Norvel Lee, is my husband's uncle. I've always heard snippets of what a powerhouse of a man he was. Now I have great details about him and I am very moved.
He was an Olympic gold medalist in boxing, had a distinguished military career which included being a Tuskegee airman. He was also an educator, a businessman, and a family man. Each of those titles holds SO many accomplishments within it, I can't possibly list it all here.
All I can say is what a legacy this man left behind. Norvel Lee is the finest example I have read of what all people should strive to be. He did his best and always looked forward. Read this book. You will be the better for it.
