Pinkett, Randal
Black faces in white places : 10 game-changing strategies to achieve success and find greatness / Randal Pinkett and Jeffrey Robinson, with Philana Patterson - New York : American Management Association, c2011. - xx, 266 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
If the name Randal Pinkett sounds familiar, it may be because Pinkett was the first African-American winner on The Apprentice. When he won, this black man also became the only contestant to be asked to share his victory with a white woman. The request (and Pinkett’s subsequent refusal) set off a firestorm of controversy that inevitably focused on the issue of race in the American workplace and in society.
For generations, African-Americans have been told that to succeed, they need to work twice as hard as everyone else. But as millions of black Americans were reminded by Pinkett’s experience, sometimes hard work is not enough.
