The Makings of a Race Man in Business
By Steven Rogers
I am proud of my commitment to the Black community, which led to the dean of faculty calling me a “race man.” I was pleasantly surprised when she, a young White person, properly used that moniker to describe me because it was a badge of honor in the Black community that dates back to the late 19th century.
