No Customer Reviews

"As president of Kentucky State from 1929 to 1962, Rufus Atwood walked a tightrope. Called upon by the black community to be an outspoken advocate of civil rights, he also had to balance the risk of offending the white politicians upon whom funding for higher education depended. Kentucky's Rufus B. Atwood is a fine story of a skilled interracial diplomat."
