By: Michael T. Morrison




Black Cop is author Michael T. Morrison's story as a young black cop navigating experiences in predominately white police departments. As the general population is unaware of the racism experienced by black officers, Morrison's story shares an insightful and interesting read into a world many do not know. The current racial climate in the United States makes his story relevant and educational, from his early days in poverty to his time in the police force. He hopes society can gain an understanding of black officers and their experiences through his words. You will find they are not immune from the plight that minority citizens have while existing in this country.
