Description
This is a book by and about Tilmon O'Bryant. It demonstrates his fight to excel despite the racism around him. He set an example of "how" by not letting the hate directed at him, defeat him, but rather motivate him to be a better man and excel as a D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer. "You're one of the few cops that the people will talk to," says Washington, DC Mayor Walter Washington. The book depicts the depths of racial prejudice within our society and the frustrations of this talented black man who only wanted to be treated as the equal of whites. Tilmon O'Bryant, raised in poverty in pre-World War II Washington's black ghetto, navigated racial prejudice, discrimination, and humiliation throughout his life to become the first black Assistant Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. Decades later, this book serves as a blueprint for how Community Oriented Policing should be implemented and managed. Every police officer in the nation, regardless of color and ethnicity should read this book.
