Description
"In Looking Beyond Race, Otis Milton Smith (1922-94) recounts his life as an African American who overcame poverty and prejudice to become a successful politician and the first black elected to a statewide office since the nineteenth century. He went on to become the first black vice president and general counsel of General Motors." "Looking Beyond Race provides a glimpse into the inner workings of America's largest corporation. Smith was an early advocate of the increased cooperation between business and government that was so necessary for business negotiating the complexities of a global economy. In 1983 he retired as general counsel for the corporation, having been the company's first black officer." "Looking Beyond Race provides a tale that will appeal to readers interested in African American history, politics, labor relations, business, and Michigan history."--BOOK JACKET.
