Winners Never Quit. Marguerite Rogers Howie

"Little has been written on the life of African-American scholars working
in traditionally black colleges and less has been written on the struggles
of African-American women scholars. This work provides a lens through
which we are able to get a glimpse of the struggles, divisions, conflicts,
tensions, and solidarity that characterized African-American faculty at
traditionally black colleges in the South.
Just as macro-level history is most accessible through the close exami-
nation of one person's experiences in a particular social-historical context,
so too the tensions at historically black colleges, the concerns of black in-
tellectual elite, and the status of structure of the black academic commu-
nity during the time of the desegragation of white colleges, all come alive
in Professor Morgan's work."
-Steven Worden, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Arkansas.

"This book chronicles and captures the essence of the tribulations experi-
enced by Black scholars and faculty in higher education from the 1900s
to the present. . . . Hundreds of Black scholars of Higher Education (in-
cluding this reader) can relate to, and identify with, Professor Morgan's
comprehesive research and the history he has covered."
-Talmadge Anderson, Professor Emeritus, Washington State University.
