Note to Readers: This edition of A Black First: Leading Through Educational Barriers and Biases retains the same powerful content as the original 2020 release of A Black First. The only additions are a new cover, subtitle and a heartfelt foreword by his daughter, Dr. Elizabeth A. Carter, reflecting on her father's legacy and the impact of his life's work.
A Black First: Leading Through Educational Barriers and Biases is the compelling story of Peter E. Carter, an African-American man who rose above the challenges of racism and bigotry to become a prominent educator and one of New Jersey's most influential leaders. From his humble beginnings as a two-year-old arriving in a Harlem tenement, to his groundbreaking career in predominantly white school districts in northern New Jersey, Carter's journey reflects a life dedicated to breaking down barriers in education. He led with conviction and compassion, becoming a trailblazer in school administration across New York, New Jersey, and Delaware, inspiring countless students and colleagues along the way. Through vivid stories and personal reflections, Carter guides readers through the highs and lows of his path, sharing not only the trials he faced but also the triumphs that defined his career. His unwavering commitment to equity and excellence in education earned him respect, admiration, and numerous awards, proving that perseverance and leadership can transcend prejudice. This book invites readers, especially those unfamiliar with the racial challenges Carter overcame, to witness a remarkable legacy of 'firsts.' His journey will inspire and educate, offering lessons in resilience, determination, and the power of education to transform lives. Join Peter E. Carter in this extraordinary tale of leadership, courage, and breaking through barriers to pave the way for future generations.
