UNTOLD GLORY(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Untold Glory offers a fresh perspective on one of the most
fundamental elements of American history—the conquest of new
frontiers. In twenty-seven fascinating first-person accounts,
African Americans from different eras, backgrounds, and occupations
explore and reflect on the meaning of frontier, both literally and
metaphorically.
　　This collection chronicles the search for freedom and opportunity
and the achievement of success in a wide variety of fields. The
contributors all pushed beyond self-imposed or culturally enforced
boundaries to pursue their dreams and ambitions. They include Mark
Dean, an IBM vice president and member of the Inventors Hall of
Fame, who holds three of the original patents upon which the
personal computer is based; the civil-rights attorney Oliver W.
Hill, one of the architects of the Brown v. Board of Education
Supreme Court case; the classical pianist and museum founder
Josephine Love; and L. Douglas Wilder, the grandson of slaves who
became the first African American governor of Virginia.
　　Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and featuring an
incisive introduction by Alan Govenar, Untold Glory is both an
important addition to the field of African American history and an
engaging, eye-opening look at some of the nation’s most daring,
innovative, and influential pioneers.
