"The Brother You Choose encompasses all that is embodied in the
soul of Gwendolyn Brooks' words when she writes: "we are each
others harvest; we are each others business; we are each others
magnitude and bond." This unique friendship (i.e., brotherhood)
born under the early idealism of the Black Panther Party within its
stated goals and objectives bring smiles to one who has also
struggled on the same streets as Paul Coates and Eddie Conway.
Susie Day has provided us with an insight into two lives that have
survived and developed within the deadly American history that
challenges us daily. The relationship that develops between the
pages of these brothers' lives is reflective of true heart and
soul. The inimitable brotherhood chronicled here can only be
measured by the depth of one's own sense of grace and humanity.
Over a span of fifty years, Paul Coates and Marshall "Eddie" Conway
have remained "rock-solid comrades" and extended family in the
Black Empowerment struggle. Their friendship exemplified the early
promise of the BPP and its core meaning as articulated in the
Ten-Point Program illustrated through Day's poignant account of
racial injustice, resistance and unyielding solidarity." -Haki R.
Madhubuti, Poet, Founder of Third World Press/Third World Press
Foundation, author of Taught By Women "Beautifully edited and
narrated by Susie Day, The Brother You Choose allows us to
eavesdrop on a humor-filled, heartwarming conversation between
Eddie Conway and Paul Coates, whose love for each other and for
their people carried them through revolutionary struggles and
decades of wrongful imprisonment. An engaging read, these deeply
personal perspectives on a common journey toward Black liberation
encapsulate a history critical to movement-building today." -Natsu
Taylor Saito, author of Settler Colonialism, Race, and the Law: Why
Structural Racism Persists "By turns touching, enraging, moving,
tough, and tender, always riveting and ultimately inspiring, The
Brother You Choose underscores the essential truth embodied in Che
Guevara's observation that "the true revolutionary is guided by a
great feeling of love." -Ward Churchill, author of Wielding Words
Like Weapons "My beloved comrade brothers, Eddie Conway & Paul
Coates both connected together like Siamese twins for over
forty-three years both with unflinching self determination and
unconditional brotherly love and appreciation for the others
humanity. Eddie's confined in maximum security prison(s) while Paul
navigates minimum security the world we all live in informing and
educating the world to "FREE EDDIE CONWAY. What an amazing story of
triumph over a system of wicked injustice behavior." -Emory
Douglas, Revolutionary Artist & Minister of Culture, Black
Panther Party 1967-1981 "With a dramatist's eye and a radical's
heart, Susie Day has crafted a conversation between two titans
about fighting the good fight, enduring the hard stuff, and living
to tell about it. The Brother You Choose is smart, endearing, funny
and inspiring. Paul Coates and Eddie Conway reflect on commitment
to the world and to each other. Pull up a chair and have a listen."
-Dan Berger, author of Captive Nation: Black Prison Organizing on
the Civil Rights Era
