FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dr. Kenneth Sharpton Glasgow Announces Release of Explosive Autobiography “IT IS RAW” — A Sharpton Family Tell-All and Blueprint for Justice

Dothan, Alabama — September 14, 2026— After more than three decades on the frontlines of faith, justice, and redemption, Dr. Kenneth Sharpton Glasgow—nationally recognized civil rights leader, founder of The Ordinary People Society (TOPS), and pioneer of the formerly incarcerated movement—has officially announced the upcoming release of his long-awaited autobiography:

“Dr. Kenneth Sharpton Glasgow – IT IS RAW”

This groundbreaking work is more than a memoir—it is a raw, unfiltered account of truth, trauma, survival, and purpose, including deeply personal revelations about the Sharpton family legacy.

At the heart of the book is a powerful and historic inclusion:

➡️ A personal letter from his father, Rev. Al Sharpton Sr., along with direct quotes that shed light on family truths, generational struggles, and reconciliation.

A STORY ROOTED IN PAIN — AND PURPOSE

From the streets of Brooklyn to the battlegrounds of the Deep South, Dr. Glasgow’s story chronicles:

Surviving childhood trauma and systemic injustice

Facing life sentences and transformation behind prison walls

Becoming a nationally recognized “jailhouse preacher”

Founding movements that reshaped voting rights for formerly incarcerated people

For over 32 years, Glasgow has led one of the most impactful grassroots movements in America—fighting for:

Restoration of voting rights for formerly incarcerated individuals

Criminal justice reform across Alabama and the South

Dignity and support for the forgotten and marginalized

FROM GRASSROOTS TO THE GLOBAL STAGE

Dr. Glasgow’s life and work have now reached international audiences through his connection to the Oscar-nominated documentary:

➡️ The Alabama Solution

The film exposes the brutal realities of Alabama’s prison system—realities that Glasgow has been confronting and organizing against for decades.

“This is not just a documentary—it is our lived experience. What the world is now seeing, we have been fighting against for over 30 years.”

— Dr. Kenneth Sharpton Glasgow

COMING SOON: A DOCUMENTARY OF HIS OWN

In addition to the book, a new documentary is currently in development:

“The Kenneth Sharpton Glasgow Story”

This upcoming film will provide an unprecedented look into Glasgow’s life—bridging:

Faith and activism

Family and legacy

Incarceration and redemption

Movement-building in the modern Civil Rights era

A VOICE FOR A NEW CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT

Often described as part of the next wave of civil rights leadership, Dr. Glasgow’s work builds on a historic legacy while forging a new path centered on:

Faith-based organizing

Direct action and policy reform

Empowerment of formerly incarcerated people and their families

“When they tried to bury us, they didn’t know we were seeds.”

— Featured theme from IT IS RAW
