Description

From the small rural town of Oakwood, Texas, Noble Fields emerged an energetic, prosperous African American entrepreneur who became the first black woman millionaire. She has led a life that has made her very proud, and now she wishes to share her story.With Pride and Dignity follows her from her birth in 1935 to Jake and Mildred Lusk—hard workers who were, for the most part, uneducated. The family moved California in 1945, and she spent her youth in Fresno. She was inducted into the army on November 22, 1954—the same date, she later learned, that Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on the city bus in Montgomery, Alabama, to a white man. Following a successful twenty-year career in the military, she launched a thriving career in real estate, building a life well lived and a legacy worth sharing.This personal narrative tells the story of Noble Fields, a military veteran who became a black woman millionaire through real estate investment.
