Black, Blind & In Charge

Governor Paterson's memoir traces a life defined by resilience — from a childhood marked by the fight for an equal education, through the halls of the New York State Senate, to the Governor's mansion at one of the most turbulent moments in American economic history.

Part political history, part personal reflection, and part playbook for leadership under pressure, Black, Blind & In Charge is a portrait of what it takes to lead when the odds are against you — and how doing so can reshape the institutions that once excluded you.
