“I first read an early draft of Take Me with You at least a half dozen years ago. It was spellbinding then. But it has matured since then, and now is the time for the story to come forth. Today, more than ever, we need this personal account of how courage, persistence, and love overcame abuse and racism, and how these qualities are central to the unprecedented flourishing of global philanthropy. We are indeed building a better, safer world and Scott Jackson’s life story is no small part of that effort.” —Dr. Jack Faris, formerly Director of Community Strategies, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation “Take Me with You spoke to my heart. Scott Jackson writes of growing up as a young White boy in the Midwest during the early 60s when communities across the United States were confronting the harsh realities of racial inequality. Scott lived just this side of the railroad tracks with an abusive father who crushed the very spirit of those he loved best: Scott and his mother. l³-
