Description

It was 1964 and a young African American named George Surratt was determined to beat the odds. There had never been a black male to attend Gardner-Webb Junior College, but his dream was bigger than historical precedent. It was bigger even than the financial and familial circumstances that turned Surratt’s sprint through college into a marathon.
