Description: From Protest to President by George A. Pruitt, Melissa A. Maszczak Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In this remarkable memoir, former Thomas Edison State University president George A. Pruitt describes how his experiences growing up in Mississippi and the South Side of Chicago during the civil rights movement led him to become a trailblazer for access to higher education for adult learners. Publisher Description From Protest to President describes an inspirational odyssey of a young, Black activist coming of age in Mississippi and Chicago in the tumultuous 1960s and 70s, culminating in a notable thirty-five-year presidency at Thomas Edison State University. From barbershop encounters with Malcolm X to death threats at Illinois State University and gunfire at Towson State, Pruitt provides a powerful narrative poised at the intersection of social justice, higher education and politics. He recounts leadership experiences at HBCUs and public universities across the country, as he advocated for autonomy at Morgan State and fought to preserve Tennessee State University. His steadfast activism, integrity and courage led to groundbreaking work in providing access to higher education for working adults and the military. From his days as a student protester in high school and college to his appearances on Capitol Hill, Pruitt has earned the reputation as a candid and influential leader in higher education. Author Biography GEORGE A. PRUITT is president emeritus and board distinguished fellow at Thomas Edison State University.
