Born in 1950 Horace Porter starts out in rural Georgia in a house that has neither electricity nor running water. In 1968 he leaves his home in Columbus Georgia -- thanks to an academic scholarship to Amherst College -- and lands in an upper-class mainly white world. Focusing on such experiences in his American education Porter's story is both unique and representative of his time. THE MAKING OF A BLACK SCHOLAR is structured around schools.

He graduates spending one semester at Morehouse College and moves on to graduate study at Yale.
