The Wild Knights Frontmen - Guitarists - Ken Doyno and Mike Bellman - part 3

Black Voices from Big Brown was borne of an idea to reveal a hidden narrative that is black achievement at the highest management levels of UPS. The story begins with Ken Jarvis, the first African American package car drive in 1957, who also became the first person of color to enter into management. His story is the springboard for so many others’ tales of Black success that reverberate throughout the UPS family. Each telling reveals a new understanding of the times in which we live, and the company on which we have come to depend.

The WHY - AKA Ground Zero

The New Girl - Terri McClure

Norm Carmichael is – what we call – a genius in innovation.  Norm stayed at UPS because – as he says – it wasn’t all about him.  Never allowing any obstacle, or difficult manager,  to stop him from being excellent at his profession,  in his way – Norm Carmichael battled racism by doing more, doing better, and being the best.
