Come by Page & Palette during Arts & Crafts Festival to meet Champ Napier and his book Poverty and Prison!

“Champ has had a very instrumental impact on the youth of Mobile county. Since getting out of prison, he volunteers constantly to mentor out of compassion to change lives. Most of the time doors get closed because of his past. Where a lot of people give up, Champ continues to come out and mentor and give back.” -Chief Lawrence Battiste; Chief of Police, Mobile, Alabama

“Napier gives an unusually raw and graphic look inside the mind and soul of his younger self: the intense trauma of the life-or-death nature of an impoverished black neighborhood and a broken prison system.” -Ryan Noble M.F.A; Communication Arts at Springhill College
