Book Review: "Up from the Projects"

1/21/11. Jason Riley of the WSJ reviews Walter Williams' autobiography --- a devastating look on how the state has conspired against blacks.

"'Sometimes I sarcastically, perhaps cynically, say that I'm glad that I received virtually all of my education before it became fashionable for white people to like black people," writes Walter Williams in his new autobiography, "Up from the Projects." "By that I mean that I encountered back then a more honest assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Professors didn't hesitate to criticize me—sometimes to the point of saying, 'That's nonsense.'"
