Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:A century ago, three Black women confronted racism at Ivy League schools, and against all odds, became the first African Americans to earn PhDs. The stories of Sadie T M Alexander, Eva B. Dykes and Georgiana Rose Simpson are not just portraits in courage, but illustrations of how personal perseverance can pave the way for peers and future generations. "Firsts are trailblazers. They go where no one else has been or thought to go." As he reviews each woman's background, from childhood to adulthood, and considers the psychological, social, and political perspectives that created their drive to succeed in a world that would seem impossible to penetrate, Williams produces an analysis that bridges the gap between personal experience and social change.At issue are more than individual obstacles, but those of educational accreditation, standards of excellence, and many underlying admittance routines that kept Black women, in particular, from reaching higher education goals.Seventeen black and white photos of each woman are excellent adjuncts to their stories, and bring them to life.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
