Book synopsis

"Perseverance: The Memoir of Birdel F. Jackson, III" is a powerful and deeply personal account of an African American engineering student's journey through the University of Toledo during the transformative years of 1963 to 1968.

Against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and the societal shifts of the 1960s, Jackson chronicles his path toward becoming a civil engineer. From the rigorous demands of advanced mathematics and engineering physics to the cultural brotherhood of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, this memoir captures the essence of "bulldog courage" and tenacity.
