The Untold Power: Underrepresented Groups in Public Relations fills a glaring void in public relations history by chronicling the practices and scholarship contributed by members of ethnically and racially underrepresented groups.The evolution and advancement of public relations have been recorded and taught as an integral part of the communications curriculum, but the stories of these trailblazers went untold.The text offers snapshots of past, present, and future endeavors with the hope that the reader will be inspired, reflective, and proactive. Everyone from students to seasoned professionals will learn of individual and group challenges and triumphs in academia, the workplace, and society.
