“I thoroughly enjoyed reading A Seat at the C-Suite Table by Chuck Wallington. Because I’m a white male, I had only a vague idea of what obstacles African Americans face in corporations, so this book was exceptionally enlightening. It’s also a fascinating look into the thinking and feeling of a group of men who succeeded despite many barriers. ”
