Born the son of a sharecropper in 1894, Benjamin E. Mays went on to serve as president of Morehouse College for twenty-seven years and as the first president of the Atlanta School Board. <i>Born to Rebel</i> is the moving chronicle of his life, a story that interlaces achievement with the rebuke he continually confronted.

Industry Reviews

"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
