Step into a story of courage, resilience, and groundbreaking innovation with The Circuit Rider of Mississippi. This captivating memoir follows Dr. S.S. Iyengar, an Indian immigrant who navigated the turbulent Jim Crow South of the 1970s to bring transformative educational change to historically black and predominantly white colleges alike.

As a National Science Foundation-funded Circuit Rider, Dr. Iyengar traversed the state, empowering underserved institutions with the tools to enter the digital age. Facing racial and cultural barriers head-on, he built technological bridges, created educational opportunities, and broke new ground in computer science education.

Through personal trials and societal challenges, Dr. Iyengar's journey exemplifies how determination and vision can defy prejudice and ignite lasting progress. From his early days in India to his role as a world-renowned academic leader, his story is a powerful testament to the transformative potential of education, technology, and an unyielding human spirit.
