Beat of a different drum

Beat of a Different Drum pushes past the stereotypes associated with black America, presenting people who have not only wondered what to do with their lives but actually followed their dreams. Each person in this book has helped to redefine the black Americans experience by endeavoring in an occupation outside the mainstreams consciousness. It is a book not just about non-conformists, but about role models who have refused to accept the social and cultural barriers around them. Inspirational and fascinating, the book is a gift to every African American who hears the beat of a different drum.
