About this audiobook
What does it mean to be born Black in America — in an era when the Constitution's promise of liberty, justice, and equality simply did not apply to you?
In this unflinching work, Herbert Pendleton — a man who lived through segregation, broke barriers as one of the very few Black professionals in the computer technology and telecommunications industries, and served his community for decades — traces the arc of the African American experience from the arrival of the first enslaved Africans to the ongoing struggle for equality today.
Drawing on a lifetime of lived history and hard-won wisdom, Pendleton examines the gap between America's founding ideals and Black America's reality — and the resilience, courage, and perseverance that have defined the journey forward.
