Tossed back and forth on a sea of adversities, his music helped him hurdle many obstacles in his life. He did so in spite of his faults. The legacy begins. Franklin Leroy Fredrick II. A true jazz trumpeter extraordinaire. The legacy continues as he inherits his fathers gift, taking it a step farther.

That gift made itself known again the first time he heard his own son play. Franklin Leroy Fredrick III. Trumpeter extraordinaire and much more. The third addition to the legacy was just as magical and faced many challenges. His love for music, coupled with his love for basketball, formed an unbeatable combination. Three men. Three choices. One gift. One love. Witness as one mans destiny passes to his son and continues on to his grandson; laying a foundation that withstands the test of time.

The Land Was Ours
The coasts of today's American South feature luxury condominiums, resorts, and gated communities, yet just a century ago, a surprising amount of beachfront property in the Chesapeake, along the Carolina shores, and around the Gulf of Mexico was owned and populated by African Americans. Blending social and environmental history, Andrew W. Kahrl tells the story of African American–owned beaches in the twentieth century. By reconstructing African American life along the coast, Kahrl demonstrates just how important these properties were for African American communities and leisure, as well as for economic empowerment, especially during the era of the Jim Crow South. However, in the wake of the...

Undiversified
Diversification is a core principle of investing. Yet money managers have not applied it to their own ranks. Only around 10 percent of portfolio managers—the people most directly responsible for investing your money—are female, and the numbers are even worse at the ownership level. What are the causes of this underrepresentation, and what are its consequences—including for firms’ and clients’ bottom lines? In Undiversified, experienced practitioners Ellen Carr and Katrina Dudley examine the lack of women in investment management and propose solutions to improve the imbalance. They explore the barriers that subtly but effectively discourage women from entering and staying in the ind...
