Enjoy Floyd Jordan’s exciting story on the triumphs of a black firefighter.

Miami Gardens, Florida - 18th April, 2018 - This book is dedicated to the memory of the author’s friend Willie Waters, who led the way by becoming the first black firefighter in the State of Florida.

The author says “Triumph is the story of my journey through the fire service and has been a dream of mine since I was promoted to the rank of fire lieutenant in 1974. Writing this story and reliving many events was painful, such as the blatant racism and disrespect experienced on duty the day Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee; and when the firefighters union expelled all the black firefighters from membership when they refused to disband their association as members of the Black Firefighters Association; and "Scrotum on the head", the worst scandal in the Miami Fire Department's history, are a few of the most important stories revealed in my book. But this story is not just about pain, it is also about the joy of triumphing over the "Jim Crow" obstacles and barriers that were endemic for trailblazing black firefighters from the mid 1960's and beyond”.

This book is filled with a lot of imaginative illustrations written in well-structured and simple English. It is guaranteed to wow its readers and keep them on the edge of their seats in agitation as they pace through from page to page.
