Steve Whites story began in January of 1950 after being born to an African American poor Pentecostal preacher and an Italian mother in a little town just north of New York City. With his father passing away at an early age and his mother not really knowing how to manage a household, work, and raise three young children by herself, life was made very interesting, to say to least, for young Steven growing up. Young Steven did not always travel the right road or in the right direction and refused to learn many things that would have helped him, and he absolutely had his own mind and was very stubborn, but the religious training taught by his father, passed down through his mother, proved to be beneficial in the latter years of his very twisted life. So sit back, and delve into the life of a man whose life most surely can and will help people with the same problems that plagued the life of Steven A. White.

Long before Kevin Jennings began advocating to end anti-LGBT bias in schools, he was a victim of it. In Mama's Boy, Preacher's Son, Jennings traces the roots of his activism to his elementary school days in the conservative South, where "faggot" became more familiar to him than his own name. Mama's Boy, Preacher's Son is that rare memoir that is both a riveting personal story and an inside account of a critical chapter in our recent history. Creating safe schools for all youth is now a central part of the progressive agenda in American education—and Kevin Jennings is at the forefront of that fight. Mama's Boy, Preacher's Son earned an A- in Entertainment Weekly, was featured in Salon and The Advocate, and was called "a great read" by People.
