I Am Alfonso Jones
Review
By LeVar Burton, Actor, Director, Author, and Reading Activist
In the aftermath of his senseless murder at the hands of a policeman, Alfonso’s story powerfully illustrates the value inherent in every human life and the tragedy of loss suffered by all who are impacted. With echoes of Capra’s It’s A Wonderful Life, by the book's conclusion, you too will be saying, I Am Alfonso Jones.
