Sub-Title: The U.S. Naval Academy's First Black Midshipmen and the Struggle for Racial Equality

The civil rights history of the United States has a number of people, such as Martin Luther King, that stand out as giants among men. While certainly important in the struggle for civil rights, the whole movement was as much dependent on an awful lot of lessor known, even unknown people: Charleen Hunter, the little girl going to school in Little Rock; Rosa Parks, the lady riding the bus in Montgomery.

This book brings another to the fore, Wesley Brown, the first African American to graduate from the United States Naval Academy. His is a story of undue harassment by southern students, and a strength that I don't think I would have had. It's a story worth telling and well told in this new book.

What the book doesn't mention is that after graduating Mr. Brown remained in the Navy until he retired in 1969 as Lt. Commander. To further honor Mr. Brown, the Navy is now intending to build the Wesley Brown Field House at the Ncademy.

One or more of the hyperlinks above will take you to Amazon.com. We specialize in books that are available on line for down loading. Where the material is stored in a planar cellulose information retrieval system, i.e. a printed book, we don't have the infrastructure to handle the sale, shipment and subsequent customer service if there is a problem. Accordingly, we have made an arrangement with Amazon.com to handle the order. The above link will take you to the specific book. If you order it from Amazon, they will give you exactly the same price and customer service as if you had entered their site directly. They also give us a small commission which helps to maintain this site.
