This well-researched book, which is volume I of a multi-volume set, represents everything our current Trump administration does not. It focuses on the heroes of our past who labored for monumental reform and urged our nation to keep the American promise that "all men are created equal", thus creating a more just and egalitarian society than the one they were born into. Written in an innovative writing style of penning letters of gratitude to these heroes of our past, coupled with an introductory biography, thanking them for so much that we have today, much of which we often take for granted.

Letters of Gratitude to American Heroes of Social Justice: Where Would Be Without Them? helps us know the lives and achievements of outstanding leaders of social justice and helps us look at our lives in an entirely new way, seeing how we cannot disconnect ourselves from past reformers, as the author clearly demonstrates to us how their efforts endure in our lives today. These were champions of unity and not division, and their memory can inspire us in this age of Trumpism and reactionary divisiveness. Mr. Buffer also helps to connect our current challenges with the struggles and victories of the past and helps to diffuse the lies told by the far-right wing about our nation's history and who we are as a people.

With his contemporary letters, Mr. Buffer imbues and inspires a sense of gratitude in the listener as well as a sense of inspiration to pay these gifts forward and become active in efforts to protect them in this time when there is a palpable push back on the great reform movements of past 240 years. In this volume, we learn about those who passionately fought for the American ideal and from whom we are all fortunate beneficiaries.
