Produktbeschreibung
This book is about a white Naval Officer who, figuratively speaking, placed his foot on the neck of a black sailor until that sailor screamed for help. But for Ernie Davis Jr., no help ever came. Even though the primary wrongdoer swore under oath at the author's military trial that he had committed no acts of racial bias, documents that the same officer prepared show that he is an absolute liar. The author's military records shine a bright spotlight on a plot conceived and successfully initiated by a white naval officer who lied incessantly about Mr. Davis' conduct and military background, falsified personnel records, and triggered a military trial resulting in the author's "undesirable" discharge from the military. Everything that happened to the author while in the Navy was based on monumental lies by one individual as well as a failure in the Navy system of justice.

Autorenporträt
Ernie Davis Jr. grew up as one of seven children of an impoverished, black Louisiana family. He joined the military to help his family and escape poverty. He was trying to do what Tyler Perry communicated to Anderson Cooper when he said his mother admonished him to "find a way." The author's understanding of what Tyler's mother meant was to find a way to succeed in spite of all of the obstacles he would face along the way as a black man.
