Teddy and Booker T. How Two American Icons Blazed a Path for Racial Equality

Teddy and Booker T.: How the two American icons blazed a path for racial equity.

He's got Mike Rowe on the back of the book. I go, Mike, he's all about blue collar jobs. Be ready for a white collar job, but be prepared to do a blue collar job. You're never going to be out of work.

And I just thought when this guy makes his life, when he was born a slave, literally no shoes until he was 10 years old, slept on the floor. I don't think we have any excuses.

And get this, Adam, he loved the country.

Let me give you a plug, Brian Kilmeade, Teddy and Booker T.: How to American icons blazed a path for racial equality. There you go.

It just talks about two Americans in rough circumstances, physically with Teddy Roosevelt, almost died, asthma and all that. Lost his wife and his mom in the same day, even though he had money, it doesn't mean he had an easy life. And then you have another guy born to slavery until he was nine years old.

And I read up from slavery and I put the book down, I could not stop thinking about it.

And I went to the Roosevelt people and I say, am I dreaming to talk about this friendship or is this just a couple of years? And he goes, no, no, this is real, not often written about.

If you wanna kneel down at a US national soccer team game because you don't feel as though life is fair for all races, creeds and colors, get a perspective.

He was born in the segregated South as a slave, loved the country and all he did was try to educate generations at Tuskegee and then spread that throughout the country without any bitterness, without any hate.
