“Lou Macaluso has captured the very soul and spirit of a man that I thought I knew and loved. Now I know so much more and wish I could have my friend back for one more conversation.
Some men get to the mountaintop and shout out all the great deeds they have done and shout their name as well. LaMarr Thomas never mentioned his great deeds and would only whisper his name. Thank you, Lou, for taking LaMarr to the mountaintop and shouting out his name. This book is a must read for all who want to know about a great man who only wanted us all to love one another.”
Summary
LaMarr Thomas had it all—All-State and High School All American in basketball and football. Every major college and university wanted him. After a stellar season as running back for the Michigan State Spartans, the NFL’s most “sought after” prospect chose to leave football and fight for human rights as a scholar/activist. What led him to this decision, and what was the outcome? Leaving Glory for Greatness explores the human triumph and tragedy of this unsung American hero.
