Four Pillars of Wisdom A Grandmother's Love - Hardcover

by Da'ron Cox (Author)

At the tender age of 3 years old Da'Ron's grandmother taught him her 4 Pillars of Wisdom to prepare him for what he would face in the world as a BLACK MAN. The 4 Pillars are Education, Math, Politics, and Religion. She explained that to no fault of his own he had two things working against him from conception to inception. He was BLACK and one day he would be a MAN. Statistically Da'Ron was DOOMED! The 4 Pillars will show the impact it had on a young boy who decided to walk the tight rope of the street life and falling off after being forewarned about the consequences that come with that choice of lifestyle. Although given an opportunity to be and do something special with his life he decided to go left. Da'Ron Cox grew up in the Homewood-Brushton community on the East Side of the city of Pittsburgh PA. He has been incarcerated for 27 years. He was convicted for a homicide at the age of 18 years old. Despite his incarceration he has found a way to honor his grandmother's legacy, while striving to be a voice to make a positive impact in someone's life so they can avoid the trappings of the street life. As he continues to fight for his freedom Da'Ron reaches to achieve academic success, completing two correspondence courses in Small Business Management and Real Estate Appraisal.
