I encourage young Black men to read this book and see how a person with a dream of being educated achieved his dream of education and more. I have all of Mays books. I wish I could have met him and shook his hand.
Mays went on to serve as president of Morehouse College for twenty-seven years and as the first president of the Atlanta School Board. His earliest memory, of a lynching party storming through his county, taunting but not killing his father, became for Mays an enduring image of black-white relations in the South.

Born to Rebel is the moving chronicle of his life, a story that interlaces achievement with the rebuke he continually confronted.
Mays, educated at Bates College and the University of Chicago, was a dean at Howard University, president of Morehouse College, and president of the Atlanta School Board. Benjamin E. His books include "The Negro's Church" and "Disturbed about Man."
