American Dreams by John Jakes
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 president of the Atlanta School Board. His earliest memory, of a lynching party storming through his county, taunting but not killing his father, became for Mays an enduring image of black-white relations in the South. Born to Rebel is the moving chronicle of his life, a story that interlaces achievement with the rebuke he continually confronted.The Kent Family Chronicles, The North and South Trilogy, and The Crown Family Saga are all bestselling novels by John Jakes. He splits his time between the states of South Carolina and Connecticut.
