If you could sum up Black Titan in three words, what would they be?

AWESOME!!!
This book is a most read for anybody in business. Its should become a required reading in all college level business classes. I learned so much from Mr. Gaston's story. Sadly, he is never portrayed as a central figure during the Civil Rights and that is a major mistake.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

NO

We all at some point need to be reminded of the sacrifices that were made, both seen and unseen that got you to a place of better Opportunity. This book reminds me the WE should never forget to throw back the proverbial rope. The same rope that was handed to US by the Souls of our ancestors.

I’ve always had a driving force inside of me to succeed in order to give back to my community. This book has awakened me
