"Return to Glory offers young people an opportunity to see history and themselves in a new light. By exposing the deceptions that we have come to accept as truth, Joel Freeman and Don Griffin challenge young people to think about who they are and what life is truly about."         --Bill Cosby, Entertainer and Educator


"Return to Glory packs a powerful punch. It's a must-read for the youth today. It tells it like it is from the root to the fruit. It's a true champion."      --Smokin' Joe Frazier, Boxing Champion


Joel Freeman and Don Griffin have dared to navigate those of us who really care about truth through the often unchartered water of race and healing. This well-written collaborative effort will do much to fill the void that is keeping a community from reaching its full God-given potential."       --Dr. Tony Evans, Senior Pastor, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship
