Born the son of a sharecropper in 1894 near Ninety Six, South Carolina, Benjamin E. Mays went on to serve as president of Morehouse College for twenty-seven years and as the first black president of the Atlanta School Board. Born to Rebel is the moving chronicle of his life, a story that interlaces achievement with the rebuke he continually confronted.
An inspiring chronicle of a black man who refused to be subjugated to and by the System. - Coretta Scott King; ""Mays's life exemplifies a tradition of excellence."" - New York Review of Books; ""Mays' account of the lot of Negroes during his youth - and during most of his adult life, too - is a factual recital and a terrible indictment."" - New Yorker
