REV. ANTHONY ANDERSON
BLACKS & LATINOS IN TECH
He is known as the “quiet storm” to most.
Equipped with faith, intelligence, confidence,
fortitude and the will to pursue all things great, it
is indisputable that Anthony Anderson possess the
unusual favor of God upon his life. The Memphis
community is blessed to have the extraordinary
imprint of such an upstanding leader, who has
dedicated his life to the betterment of youth and
young adults, while faithfully serving God and
his Church.
From a reader’s standpoint, it would seem proper
to start with the foundation of his life and work
he story to present time accomplishments.
However, the humility of this Gospel preacher
and educational activist brings to the forefront
his work as it is seen in the intricate fabric of
systems that have been designed to propel
-
a generation forward, thrusting them into
-
powerful mindsets and commendable citizens.
Anthony Anderson is no stranger to hard work
and neither is rolling up his sleeves to get into
-
the trenches to better the lives of others a foreign
concept. He is not afraid to take on the ‘hard’
conversations, such as addressing the disparity
of economic and educational equality
within the Memphis and surrounding
areas.
