A native of Pass Christian, Mississippi, he shares his journey in his book New Black Power: A Memoir of Kevin LaVigne Antoine. He discusses the challenges he faced within the National Democratic Party and the Mississippi Democratic Party during his 1996 campaign for the US Congress. His crowning achievement as the first African American to win a political party's nomination in Mississippi's majority-white 4th Congressional District is a source of pride for all.
