""Under the Sun contributes to a historical understanding of a time, not so long ago, when major newspaper newsrooms were overwhelmingly white, and the Black journalists who succeeded in them had to be not only very talented but also resilient, self-confident, and persevering."" --Cynthia Tucker, coauthor of The Southernization of America: A Story of Democracy in the Balance ""If you have ever wondered about the deeply human story behind the storyteller, this is a book you need to read. Harold Jackson covered and led the coverage for some of the important people and stories of our time, but here he turns that pen on his own story, a hard and courageous thing. He once worried that he might not make his family, his teachers, his people proud. Here he proves he has."" --Rick Bragg, author of The Speckled Beauty: A Dog and His People and winner of the 1996 Pulitzer Prize in Feature Writing
