Diane Brady grew up in Scotland and Canada before moving to Nairobi to begin her career as a journalist. She now writes for "Bloomberg Businessweek" in New York City, where she lives with her husband and three children. This is her first book.
Holy Cross, Black Power, and the Sixties could have been an unholy
mix. A bold Jesuit priest made it a holy one. The story of Father
John Brooks, Clarence Thomas, Ted Wells, and the others rings with
power, pride, and human feeling. "Fraternity" and the saga it
retells adds honor to my college. Chris Matthews, anchor, MSNBC s
"Hardball with Chris Matthews"
Diane Brady s book brilliantly shows how the attention and concern
of one man changed not only the course of these individual lives
but the course of history. This book is a template of how we should
all think about both our societal responsibility and the gift of
mentorship. Wes Moore, author of "The Other Wes Moore"
An incredibly inspiring book . . . Diane Brady has captured the
story not just of a group of amazing black men and their mentor but
of an era. But most of all, "Fraternity" is about the power of
hope, the power of presence in the lives of others, the power of
mentorship, role modeling, and actionable belief. And this is why I
see this book as the best modern-day example of the continued power
of Dr. King s Dream. John Hope Bryant, founder and CEO of Operation
HOPE and author of "Love Leadership: The New Way to Lead in a
Fear-Based World"
Rife with questions about education that are as vital today as they
were in the sixties, "Fraternity" is a reminder that success in
life is often about being given the chance to succeed, and that
great educators have the power to shape the course of history. This
is an important story that will bring endless inspiration. Sampson
Davis, author of "The Pact: Three Young Men Make a Promise and
Fulfill a Dream""

"An incredibly inspiring book . . . Diane Brady has captured the
story not just of a group of amazing black men and their mentor but

of leadership. He took the wrenching crisis surrounding Dr. King's
assassination and made sure that it would not go to waste. He
transformed his and a nation's adversity (and maybe shame too) into
the aspirations of a new generation of more enlightened leaders.
