Mays And Morehouse

Benjamin E. Mays was president of Morehouse College for 27 years. The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a former student and close friend, considered Dr. Mays to be his spiritual mentor and "one of the great influences in my life." Now, in this first published book-length biography, Dereck Rovaris, relying on interviews with those who knew Mays, as well as primary and secondary sources, presents an insightful view of a giant who represented human dignity, perseverance, dedication, and spiritual harmony to many.
