• Robert Johnson s rise from humble beginnings in Hickory, Miss and Freeport, Ill to bone a fide American billionaire is packed with all the elements of great stories.
• In addition to a healthy dose of drive and determination, there is a large helping of alleged backstabbing, extramarital affairs, corporate meltdowns and showdowns.Regardless of how some folks feel about BET, author Brett Pulley couches Johnson s accomplishments in the historical context of both black American history and the cable industry.
• Like it or not, Johnson is a trailblazer.
• He is also proof positive of just how far hard work and tremendous opportunity can take you.Most surprising to some maybe Johnson s own grandiose ideas of what BET might have become.
