Description
"They came [to Ferris Institute in Big Rapids, Michigan], to enroll in college programs and college preparatory courses--and to escape, if only temporarily, the daily and ubiquitous indignities suffered under the Jim Crow racial hierarchy. They excelled in their studies and became accomplished in their professional fields. Many went on to both ignite and help lead the explosive civil rights movement. Very few people know their stories--until now. Haste to Rise is a book about the ... resiliency and ... accomplishments of those [Black] students"--Publisher marketing.
