Reseña del libro "Growing Up To Be Mayor: The True Story of Mayor Lee Brown, First African American Mayor of Houston (en Inglés)"

"Growing Up To Be Mayor" is the inspiring true story of Dr. Lee P. Brown, the first African American Mayor of Houston. Born to migrant farm workers in rural Oklahoma, Lee's family is forced to leave the Oklahoma dust bowl and move to California where they hope a better future awaits them. At only five, Lee had survived The Great Depression. No stranger to hard work, Lee works along with his whole family picking grapes, cotton, potatoes, melons ... the family must make a living. The opportunity to go to school and learn to read transforms Lee's life. Lee works his way through college and eventually earns four degrees. From a beat cop with the San Jose, California Police Department, Lee is selected to serve as Atlanta's Commissioner of Public Safety. Later he serves as U.S. Drug Czar in President Clinton's Cabinet and then is elected as the first African American Mayor of Houston, Texas. "Growing Up To Be Mayor" not only tells the story of one of our living legends, but also encourages children to accomplish their own American dreams.
