SCARS: Forty-Six Years of Chasing Equality (English Edition)

Aaron Davis worked in the Oil and Gas Industry for forty-six years. He started as a roustabout (common laborer at the lowest level) and progressed to the level of Superintendent, managing multiple facilities in the deepest waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Aaron retired as Manager of Training and Development. Aaron shares his early struggles as he sought to overcome the trials of poverty in Black America and prove himself as equal to any man in a world that was not ready to be equal. The mental and emotional scars created by inequality remain with most Black men who dare to be successful. Blacks and other minorities are constantly fighting for equality in the workplace. Their stories continue to be told as they share the common bond of discrimination. Even though Aaron continually encountered what one could assume to be racism along the way, his story is about his journey to rise above it. Aaron never wanted special treatment; only what others got for just coming to work. His contributions were many, but never enough to grant him the equality that was enjoyed by his colleagues. The differences between Black and White are substantial, and the only way to truly understand them is to walk the walk. So, take this trip down memory lane with Aaron as he shares a storied career of striving for equality and the SCARS associated with his journey.
