I wish to acknowledge the invaluable support of my family and Pat’s friends who contributed to his biography. Pat’s history would not be complete without their stories which provided the necessary enhancement to the facts researched and discovered during this journey. I am indebted to the sacrifices of Pat’s friends and colleagues who in 1968-1969 shared and realized his vision for a better world for all people of color.
