Sir Alan Parker
Sir Alan William Parker CBE was an English filmmaker. His early career was spent as a copywriter and director of television commercials, starting in his late teens. He started screenwriting and directing films after about ten years of making adverts, many of which received creativity awards. As part of a planned series of World War II-themed stories, Parker mortgaged his house to fund his first movie as a director, “No Hard Feelings,” a tale of a London couple during the Blitz.

Herman Cain
The dreams of businessman Herman Cain (December 13, 1945-July 30, 2020) appeared to be beyond those of a man’s son who worked in the segregated South as a janitor, a barber, and a chauffeur. Cain would later graduate from Morehouse College and receive a Purdue University Master’s degree. Although the U.S. Navy hired him as a civilian mathematician, he would write that he wanted to be president of “something … somewhere.”
