Description for Binga: The Rise and Fall of Chicago's First Black Banker (Second to None: Chicago Stories)
Review 'Hayner�s well-researched, well-balanced Binga highlights not only the life of the banker, but the South Side in which he made�and lost�his fortune. What�s clear from this book is how, for better or worse, Binga was his own man. This is what led [W. E. B.] Du Bois to praise him so highly as 'outspoken . . . self-assertive . . . (a man who) could not be bluffed or frightened . . . (and) did not bend his neck nor kow-tow when he spoke to white men.' �The Chicago Tribune'There is arguably no better icon of Chicago history that deserves such a dramatic and gripping treatment than Jesse Binga.' �Davarian L. Baldwin, author of Chicago's New Negroes: Modernity, the Great Migration, and Black Urban Life Read more About the Author DON HAYNER is the retired editor-in-chief of the Chicago Sun-Times.
