highly recommended

Six years' worth of symposiums come together in this rich collection of essays that plot a course for African Americans, explaining how individuals and households can make changes that will immediately improve their circumstances in areas ranging from health and education to crime reduction and financial well-being. Addressing these pressing concerns are contributors Dr. David Satcher, former U.S. surgeon general; Wade Henderson, executive director of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights; Angela Glover Blackwell, founder of the research think tank PolicyLink; and Cornel West, professor of Religion at Princeton University. Each chapter outlines one key issue and provides a list of resources, suggestions for action, and a checklist for what concerned citizens can do to keep their communities progressing socially, politically, and economically. Though the African American community faces devastating social disparities?in which more than 8 million people live in poverty?this celebration of possibility, hope, and strength will help leaders and citizens keep Black America moving forward.

Five stars

America, and especially Balck America, needs books like this one. It is a powerful book that everyone who wants to understand racism and human nature in general should read. This is a very informative and moving piece dealing with current situation of not only African Americans but also other Americans who are often disenfranchised. The author offers practical, how-to-do information for individuals and communities to take political action on the issues. Definite five stars!

I also suggest to read Blue Rage, Black Redemption: A Memoir

Great Read!!!!!!

Once I started reading this book it was hard for me to put it down. I think that every person of African roots should have this book in their Library and also those with children should encourage them to read this book.

A must read!

I loved this book and bought a copy for my sister in law as well.
The 10 covenants are on my wall. Thank you Tavis Smiley and all of the contributing authors.

book lover

It was a good book, I really learned a lot from this book. I have twins boys in school. They don't do too well in school. But I did learn a lot about how to handle the school system. They wanted to put one of my twins in special education. So reading this book taught me a lot. It gave me an edge on the school system, and my right regarding my sons.
