520    "When Michael K. Williams died on September 6, 2021, he 
       left behind a career as one of the most electrifying 
       actors of his generation. From his star turn as Omar 
       Little in The Wire to Chalky White in Boardwalk Empire to 
       Emmy-nominated roles in HBO's The Night Of and Lovecraft 
       Country, Williams inhabited a slew of indelible roles that
       he portrayed with a rawness and vulnerability that leapt 
       off the screen. Beyond the nominations and acclaim, 
       Williams played characters who connected, whose humanity 
       couldn't be denied, whose stories were too often left out 
       of the main narrative. At the time of his death, Williams 
       had nearly finished a memoir that tells the story of his 
       past while looking to the future, a book that merges his 
       life and his life's work. Mike, as his friends knew him, 
       was so much more than an actor. In Scenes from My Life, he
       traces his life in whole, from his childhood in East 
       Flatbush and his early years as a dancer to his battles 
       with addiction and the bar fight that left his face with 
       his distinguishing scar. He was a committed Brooklyn 
       resident and activist who dedicated his life to working 
       with social justice organizations and his community, 
       especially in helping at-risk youth find their voice and 
       carve out their future. Williams worked to keep the 
       spotlight on those he fought for and with, whom he 
       believed in with his whole heart. Imbued with poignance 
       and raw honesty, Scenes from My Life is the story of a 
       performer who gave his all to everything he did-in his own
       voice, in his own words, as only he could"--|cProvided by
