Editorial Reviews

Presents a study seeking to address the continuing inequality of opportunities for success that blacks experience relative to their similarly qualified white peers in the corporate environment. Compares rates of upward mobility for qualified blacks and equally qualified whites to refute the myth that upward mobility for blacks is available as long as they are qualified. The author is the principal and CEO of a human resource management and organizational development consulting company.
