Benjamin E. Mays
Definición
- Benjamin Elijah Mays was the consummate Renaissance man, in that he was proficient as an educator, scholar, preacher, philosopher, and advocate for social change. The longtime president of Morehouse College was born in 1894, two years before the historic Plessy v. Ferguson decision by the Supreme Court of the United States, which established the concept of “separate but equal.” Mays tirelessly worked to raise himself and his fellow citizens from a life of discrimination perpetuated by a White majority that embraced a concept of freedom that included only people who emanated from Western Europe.
