Sharon K. Bennett
I'm an author who recently penned a biography of a civil rights leader. Growing up in the 1960s as a person of color proved to be emotional and, at times, turbulent as the daughter of Rev. Dr. L.E. Bennett because he took the selfless step forward to integrate the significant telecommunications company of Southwestern Bell/AT&T. The pressures endured from that civil rights movement and by that leader also affected his family.

L.E. Bennett's accomplishments earned him a Political Education Award from Former President Roy Wilkins of the NAACP, a Wall of Tolerance Certificate signed by Ms. Rosa Parks, a letter from Former President Bill Clinton, a commendation from Former Senator Ruth Jones McClendon, and more.
He was dynamic and outspoken! It's no wonder with the large Christian and electrifying family he came from. I mean, how many father's do you know of that knocked a cow out.
