Affirmative Action in Construction can be purchased from Amazon. On Wednesday, January 27 from 4 to 6 at Roosevelt University he will lecture on the subject and host a book signing. This is a lecture that all business people and students should attend.
King's book captures a wonderful history of affirmative action as it existed. He was an advocate and trailblazer for affirmative action legislation in this country. His leadership expanded beyond the construction industry and extended into all phases of black enterprise.Paul's book captures history. But what we should consider is affirmative action today. What does the minority business person of today do to secure a fair opportunity in the business community? What do we do about affirmative action with a Black President? Do we still need afifrmative action, or has the business world become fair and post racial?
