| Publisher Description: In 1914, a Philadelphia department store tycoon and well-known philanthropist selected three Indian boys from boarding schools across the United States to attend a prestigious Pennsylvania prep school. This is a story that has been lying dormant for decades, but must now be passed down to future generations as an example to young people of all races that determination and strong character will bring you through the toughest of times. This story serves as a reminder that all can achieve and overcome the prejudices and discrimination many of our ancestors endured and that many people still face today. Most of all, this story serves as living proof that people of minority races can fi nd their place in a troubled world and be vital contributors to a society that has not always embraced them. |
