Ashay Launches Site for My Times in Black and White.
My Times in Black and White: Race and Power at The New York Times is the moving story of the hard-won rise and devastating fall of journalist Gerald M. Boyd, who rose from childhood poverty to become the first black managing editor of the New York Times.
After a career of many firsts, Boyd shattered the color barrier of the white establishment’s most exclusive media giant. But his dream of running a major newspaper came to an abrupt end when he was forced to resign in 2003 in the wake of scandal over a reporter who had plagiarized and fabricated news stories.
