Praise for Upon A Turning Stage
“Benefitting from a childhood imbued with theatre and the arts, Charisse Lillie’s autobiography delivers rapid fire scenes from a life of firsts: as a student, law clerk, professor, civil rights attorney, city solicitor, corporate executive, board member and public intellectual. Depicted with lawyerly clarity, myriad accounts of her personal and professional accomplishments provide important insights about some of the most important moments in recent U.S. history. The reader will be inspired by the evidence throughout of her unerring courage and steadfast devotion to justice.”
