Summary
Pulse of Perseverance is the honest, deeply personal tale of three young Black men's refusal to succumb to failure and how, together, they overcame daunting odds to take their place among the just five percent of US doctors who are Black. Through writing as passionate as it is relatable, the authors provide an unflinching look at the barriers Black Americans face as they try to move out of the place society has designated for them.
This book is a searing indictment of our still separate and unequal education system, one that ensures the road to becoming a doctor, or a lawyer or professor, will be much harder for Black children than it will be for White. Yet, at its core, Pulse of Perseverance is an inspirational story of what can be accomplished with dedication, the support of people with similar goals, and the investment from institutions dedicated to Black success. This book is the North Star for every Black child who sees something greater for himself than the world would have him believe.
