Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What happened to a dream deferred? Dr. Edward Haynie, an African-American and third generation educator, fought discrimination while trying to advance. His lifelong dream of becoming a dentist to serve his community was systematically haltered by institutional racism both subtle and direct. Author Vivian Johnson details his thought provoking true story.His Dream instilled in him as a child by his uncle, was obstructed by the prejudice of Caucasian professors who manipulated the system to his disadvantage.
