Summary "Fred Engh was white. He would become the first white student to attend Maryland State, a segregated college. His intention was not to break any racial barriers or make any headlines. He simply wanted a better life for himself and his family as an accredited teacher. What he learned from attending that college however was something he had not expected. This is a tale of discovery, understanding, and personal change. A lesson still as valuable today as it was then"-- Provided by publisher.
