Publisher's Summary:
A real untold story. Dr. Jordan B. Smith, Jr. became the first African-American to become the Color Company Commander at the United States Naval Academy (Annapolis or USNA) in 1976. The Class of 1976 African Americans set the pathway for changes, by demonstrating that blacks and other minorities had earned the right to be in Annapolis. The incidents and events are authentic. This audiobook is about one of the black men who graduated from the Naval Academy in 1976 whose accomplishment ignites a communication frenzy among the media - as another Navy tradition goes away. The cover picture shows a black girl wearing a traditional, southern belle, formal white dress. The pictures of this event make public that blacks could compete with their white counterparts and live in harmony. These black midshipmen pioneers of Annapolis brings an end to the discriminatory tolerant institutions of learning at the United States Naval Academy.
At the time, the author thought this accomplishment was insignificant, but it faded away with time and only existed as a memory. The cover picture of this audiobook is on display in the Naval Museum in Annapolis, Maryland. The image is on display in a glass case, close by uniforms of Admiral Nimitz and Farragut, and other historical Naval documents and artifacts. Most African-Americans today are familiar with black sports professionals like Michael Jordan, and few if any know anything about the accomplishment of African-Americans who broke barriers to scuttle Navy traditions at Annapolis. The achievements of these black military men are well concealed and camouflaged.
However, no significant progress ever happens without setbacks, diversions, decisions, failures, and modifications of strategies. Perseverance and struggle in making the dream a reality, has never failed throughout the author's lifetime. It is the development of Dr. Smith's growing mindset that allowed him to believe that he could become the 17th Company Commander.

Awesome book.
A lesson learned
This is a must read story. It highlights the ups and downs of this African American and the trials & tribulations that he went through while attending Annapolis & also while serving in the Marines. I love that after each chapter, he puts the lesson that he learned. He also talks about his personal life which sometimes was sad but through it all God has blessed him and he has become very successful. I thoroughly enjoyed this book & I encourage you to read it.
Prevaricators Creed
Annapolis Creed is pure fiction and extremely poorly written. Please DO NOT waste your time and money to support such a shameless, arrogant, delusional fraud. Good luck to you Dr. Smith with the lies written in this book, I truly believe you are going to need it! In the future, please THINK before you write and foolishly self-publish. Amateur.
