Growing up in the 1960s as a person of color proved to be emotional and, at times, turbulent as the daughter of Rev. Dr. L.E. Bennett. Because he took the selfless step forward to integrate the significant telecommunications corporation in Texas. Pressures that a civil rights activist endures also affect his family.
Sharon developed a deep desire to research her family history in the 1990s. Her father, the late Rev. Dr. L.E. Bennett, had long studied the family’s history. Sharon gained a new appreciation for her father’s sacrifice to change the world during his genetic swab. She worked on his story and did interviews for the past 15 years. As the daughter of L.E. Bennett, she explored family archives and some company records to piece more together of this man's remarkable journey from janitor and civil rights pioneer to second-level management.view less
