Based on a true story, American Square: The Rise and Fall of a Modern-Day Camelot is the memoir of J. Maurice Banks as he moved from state to state in rural America with his family, experiencing integrated communities in the early 1970s and eventually relocating to the Washington, DC, area in 1976, where his experience with multicultural communities propelled him to understanding a commitment to achieving that perfect place--a shining light on the hill--and a society achievable without racism and cultural divide. Mr. Banks' quest to continue his career as a professional football star never materialized, but his adventures maneuvering through adversity in the mid to late 1980s give an insight and inspirational look at the power of faith and determination to be a winner and successful at whatever you want to achieve in life.
