A Terrible Thing to Waste : Arthur Fletcher and the Conundrum of the Black Repub

Description: Very nice shape. Spine has very limited wear. Jacket does have minor rip to bottom. No writing or tears to any pages. Please see photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have. Arthur Fletcher (1924–2005) was the most important civil rights leader you've (probably) never heard of. The first black player for the Baltimore Colts, the father of affirmative action and adviser to four presidents, he coined the United Negro College Fund’s motto: “A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Waste.” Modern readers might be surprised to learn that Fletcher was also a Republican. Fletcher’s story, told in full for the first time in this book, embodies the conundrum of the post-World War II black Republican—the civil rights leader who remained loyal to the party even as it abandoned the principles he espoused.
