Vernon Jordan Made Being a Black Man in America Look Effortless

Subject

Vernon Jordan, Black Life, Experiences

Description

Vernon Jordan came from humble beginnings and grew up in a segregated America, yet he moved through the world in the manner of someone who owned it. He was a Black man who knew what it meant to be called the n-word, not in a burst of anger but with cruel nonchalance. He knew what it meant to be underestimated.
