My Father’s House’: John Conyers III Reclaims His Civil Rights Legacy in Powerful New Memoir

In My Father’s House, John Conyers III delivers a deeply personal and political memoir, tracing his journey as the son of civil rights icon John Conyers Jr., the longest-serving Black congressman in U.S. history. Set for release on May 13, 2025 by Amistad, this 304-page memoir explores generational legacy, identity, and the tension between public impact and private absence. Featuring a foreword by Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, the book humanizes the movement through a son’s eyes—one shaped by Detroit’s history, political power, and quiet pain. From Rosa Parks to family struggles, Conyers III writes with clarity, accountability, and love. With praise from Jemele Hill, Bakari Sellers, and President Bill Clinton, My Father’s House is more than memoir—it’s a reckoning and a blueprint for future leaders.
