An Unbreakable Spirit: THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF DR. PERCY JULIAN: From the Segregated South to a Global Legacy in Science: How Percy Julian Revolutioniz

By Michael Webster

A grandson of slaves in the Jim Crow South, Percy Julian was born into a world designed to limit his potential. But in the face of relentless prejudice, he refused to be broken. Instead, he transformed himself into a scientific titan whose genius changed the world.

An Unbreakable Spirit is the powerful story of a chemist who defied every barrier put in his way. Dr. Julian's groundbreaking work with the humble soybean led to the creation of affordable, life-saving medicines like cortisone, revolutionizing the pharmaceutical industry and bringing relief to millions.

More than a chemist, Julian was a civil rights pioneer. He used his intellect and success to fight for equality, becoming an unbreakable symbol of resilience for generations to come.

This book is the definitive account of Julian's life and work, exploring his scientific breakthroughs, his entrepreneurial triumphs, and his unwavering moral compass. It's a testament to the idea that genius knows no color, and that the fight for progress is a battle won not just in the streets, but in the laboratory.
