About this listen

Jesse & Tom is a children's book sharing the story of Ensign Jesse Leroy Brown of Hattiesburg, Mississippi overcoming society's racial barriers to become America's first African American Naval Pilot. In the naval aviator's locker room, Jesse Brown meets Tom Hudner for the first time and they bond as friends for life. On December 4, 1950, Capt. Tom Hudner crashed his corsair aircraft risking court martial to save his shipmate, Ensign Jesse Leroy Brown. Through the dramatic attempts to save Jesse Brown's life, Tom Hudner begins a life odyssey of "devotion" to the legacy of Jesse Brown. Jesse & Tom highlights one of the greatest life examples showing a path for American youth on how to overcome racism through hard work, perseverance, and faith.
