Born and raised in an all-black enclave in suburban New Jersey, Marcus Mabry suddenly found himself thrust into the white world at age 14 when he won an academic scholarship to one of the nation?ÇÖs most prestigious prep schools. In examining the price of black success in America, Mabry recalls what it was like being young, black, and talented, searching for his own identity, as he teetered uncertainly between two universes: the despairing, impoverished tightly knit black community of his childhood and the white world of privilege and promise that beckoned.
