<p>Mays's life exemplifies a tradition of excellence.</p>

- <i>New York Review of Books</i>,

<p>Mays's account of the lot of Negroes during his youth—and during most of his adult life, too—is a factual recital and a terrible indictment.</p>

- <i>New Yorker</i>,

<p>A noble book, a pragmatic and useful one.</p>

- <i>Christian Science Monitor</i>,

Born the son of a sharecropper in 1894 near Ninety Six, South Carolina, Benjamin E. Mays went on to serve as president of Morehouse College for twenty-seven years and as the first president of the Atlanta School Board. His earliest memory, of a lynching party storming through his county, taunting but not killing his father, became for Mays an enduring image of black-white relations in the South. Born to Rebel is the moving chronicle of his life, a story that interlaces achievement with the rebuke he continually confronted.
