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.
