Historical

Theodore Martin Alexander, Sr., was born March 7, 1909, in Montgomery, Alabama, the third child of James and Hattie Alexander. He attended high school at Morehouse Academy in Atlanta, Georgia and graduated from Morehouse College with honors in 1931, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration. He was honored by Morehouse College with an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 1970.

Mr. Alexander has been a leader in the Atlanta insurance industry and community activities for more than 50 years. In addition to founding his own insurance agency in 1931, he established the Southeastern Fidelity Fire and Casualty Company in 1951 and served as Executive Vice President and Managing Officer until the company was prematurely sold in 1967. Southeastern Fidelity Company provided more than $50,000,000 of property protection for its client groups, and was the first Black-owned multi-line insurance company.

Recognizing the absence of Black representation in electoral politics in both the City of Atlanta and the State of Georgia for more than 90 years, Mr. Alexander embarked upon an ambitious effort and ran for the office of City Alderman in 1957 and for the State Senate in 1961. Although unsuccessful in each of these bids, his actions provided the motivation for other Blacks to become involved in seeking election of public office, thus paving the foundation for not only the first elected Mayor of the City of Atlanta, but also for numerous other elected positions throughout the South.

To the point, accurate, and jam-packed with crucial advice and steps for new business owners (or those about to enter business) including the kinds of behind the scene problems black entrepreneurs will face along the way and how to effectively deal with these issues.

Federal Plantation shows that employment discrimination against blacks and other minorities within the Federal Government is at an all time high! Wallace describes how working within the federal sector today is synonymous with working on the "big plantation." This book is a firsthand account of covert discriminatory employment practices within many agencies of the Federal government including, Congress, Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, the FBI, branches of the military, and several others. Numerous examples of how some managers "work" the system to avoid recognizing, promoting and fairly compensating blacks are cited. Wallace also provides a "survival guide for Black Americans" that spells out what can be done to counter the assault against diversity and affirmative action.
