Career Track or Side Track: A Career Guide for Young African-American Professionals Book

2018 Reading Challenge - A book by a local author

This book focuses on Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Dubois and the legacy they fostered in the politics of Black America. The section of W.E.B. Dubois was incredibly informative and comprehensive. I appreciated the exploration of Marcus Garvey's movement, while having Pan African elements a la Dubois, but was economically rooted in the conservative politics/economics of Washington. There were also sections on the former Chicago mayor, Harold Washington, and Louis Farrakhan. While the actually writing of the book could be a bit dry at times, it was packed full of information.
