　　Untold Glory offers a fresh perspective on one of the most

fundamental elements of American history—the conquest of new

frontiers. In twenty-seven fascinating first-person accounts,

African Americans from different eras, backgrounds, and occupations

explore and reflect on the meaning of frontier, both literally and

metaphorically.

This collection chronicles the search for freedom and opportunity

and the achievement of success in a wide variety of fields. The

contributors all pushed beyond self-imposed or culturally enforced

boundaries to pursue their dreams and ambitions. They include Mark

Dean, an IBM vice president and member of the Inventors Hall of

Fame, who holds three of the original patents upon which the

personal computer is based; the civil-rights attorney Oliver W.

Hill, one of the architects of the Brown v. Board of Education

Supreme Court case; the classical pianist and museum founder

Josephine Love; and L. Douglas Wilder, the grandson of slaves who

became the first African American governor of Virginia.

Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and featuring an

incisive introduction by Alan Govenar, Untold Glory is both an

important addition to the field of African American history and an

engaging, eye-opening look at some of the nation’s most daring,

innovative, and influential pioneers.
