If You Don’t Stand Up For What You Believe In, You Will Fall For Anything: City of Tampa Florida Vs Marion S. Lewis

This book is about a true story that details a long journey to correct an injustice. The story depicts a young man that came from humble beginnings who realized his dream of becoming a policeman in his hometown and worked tirelessly to create a trusting atmosphere between the police and the black community.

Suddenly, the city ousted him from his police job that he held most of his adult life. And the sole reason for the city’s action is because he qualified to run for the office of mayor. This injustice traveled all the way to the Supreme Court of Florida with an outcome that changed the political landscape for law enforcement officers in Florida who wanted to seek political office.
