Lillian Lincoln Lambert rose from humble beginnings as a poor farm girl in the segregated South to become the first black woman to earn an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School, and later, the founder of a $20 million maintenance company with 1,200 employees.

In The Road to Someplace Better, Lambert shares an inspiring personal journey. Lambert’s talk is co-sponsored by the Greater Kansas City Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, and the Howard University Alumni Club of Kansas City. The book will be available for sale.
