America's Massacre: The Audacity of Despair and a Message of Hope

By Tewhan Butler

They called him Massacre, the leader of the Double ii Bloods, the first Blood set on the East Coast. History Channel's "Gangland" labeled him a central figure in the rise and spread of street gangs. But can just one man be held accountable, or is the truth more complex? Make no mistake: Tewhan "Massacre" Butler accepts his share of responsibility. But in "America's Massacre: The Audacity of Despair and a Message of Hope," Butler argues, with his customary eloquence and charisma, that multiple factors influenced his actions, and the actions of many others trapped in the hopelessness of inner-city life. In this seminal memoir, Butler reflects on his life, the choices he made, and shares the hard lessons he has learned. He does not ask for sympathy. He sincerely wants to build understanding and help advance society. A must read for parents, educators, policymakers, the legal community, civic leaders, and concerned citizens the world over.
