Buck: A Memoir by MK Asante, August 2013
Writer, filmmaker, hip-hop artist, and professor of creative writing and film at Morgan State University, MK Asante has had an interesting life. And he shares it in his memoir Buck, out in August. Born in Zimbabwe, Asante ended up surviving alone in Philadelphia, his father gone, brother in jail, and mother in a mental hospital. But his uplifting story shows how education—in any form—can help lift up a person.
