Born in 1936 in Tallahassee, Florida, Wally Amos would rise from a poor Black kid in the segregated South to the first Black agent at the William Morris Agency, by way of time in New York City, the Air Force, and even Hawaii.  

He starts a family and has his first real taste of what success looks like—but struggles with the limitations placed on him as a Black man in America. Wally was raised to believe in himself, even if others do not. But how did he get here—and at what cost?
