Oliver White Hill, SR (1907–2007)
Oliver White Hill, Sr. (May 1, 1907 — August 5, 2007) was an American civil rights attorney from Richmond, Virginia. His work against racial discrimination helped end the doctrine of “separate but equal.” He also helped win landmark legal decisions involving equality in pay for black teachers, access to school buses, voting rights, jury selection, and employment protection. He retired in 1998 after practicing law for almost 60 years. Among his numerous awards was the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which U.S. President Bill Clinton awarded him in 1999. (Source: Wikepedia) Though he spent most of his life working and living in Richmond, he did live in my hometown of Roanoke. The house in which he lived in as a child is just up the road from where I work, in a predominantly African American community. His winning the Presidential Medal of Freedom should have been awarded earlier, but thankfully it wasn’t awarded posthumously.

Book Review | The Sicilian.
The Sicilian is a novel written by Mario Puzo and published in 1984. Who is Mario Puzo? Very simple: he is the author of The Godfather. This distinction is enough to make Puzo instantly recognisable. After all, The Godfather is easily one of the most influential crime novels of all time. When people are asked to list works inspired by the Italian mafia, this book will often come first. Considering The Godfather's status, it should come as no surprise that The Sicilian has a hard time competing even though it is considered as the sequel to The Godfather. Two things can explain this: the different eras in which the novels were published (the sixties for The Godfather, the eighties for The Sicilian) and the lesser impact of the movie adaptation of The Sicilian compared to that of The Godfather.
