There's a couple of articles in Newsweek that you might find interesting. One highlights 3 black CEOs, Richard Parsons of AOL, Ken Chenault of AmEx, and Stanley O'Neal of Merrill. Here's a link to the story: msnbc.com One of the three, who is now President of Merrill Lynch, started out life like this: Born in tiny Wedowee, Ala., O’Neal used to pick cotton as a child, and walked about a mile from his family’s small farm to a one-room schoolhouse heated with a wood-burning stove. During his early teens, the family relocated to Atlanta in search of a better life, but ended up living in public housing for a while. O’Neal’s father eventually landed a job at a nearby General Motors plant. “We never went hungry and somehow miraculously managed to be fully clothed and pretty happy,” O’Neal says. Talk about your upward mobility.
