Description
• Self-help quotations from African Americans ranging from revered elders, civil rights heroes, athletes and rap artists, to twelve-year-old Myesha
• An inspiring view of African Americans advancing—an antidote to the negative media portrayals
• American history in the poignant voices of people who lived it
"In what has obviously been a labor of love, Richard Rosenfield compiles a useful compendium of folk wisdom which, while coming out of the African American community, is of profound relevance to all Americans. Reaching across the generations and spanning the range from academic to popular discourses, Rosenfield reproduces here one nugget of insight after the other. All of our young people need to read and reflect upon this invaluable book."
--GLENN C. LOURY, Merton P. Stoltz Professor of the Social Sciences in the Department of Economics at Brown University, and author of Race, Incarceration, and American Values
“It was a great idea to edit such a book, and a major contribution.”
--JAMES P. COMER, Founder and Chairman of the School Development Program at the Yale University School of Medicine's Child Study Center, and author of What I Learned In School: Reflections on Race, Child Development, and School Reform
"African American Core Values: A Guide for Everyone serves as a poignant collection of hard-fought common sense values that every American--no matter their color--can benefit from. The values of self-reliance, hard work, education, and the willingness to endure to overcome obstacles were once common in the black community. It is books such as this one that can help bring these values back."
--REVEREND JESSE LEE PETERSON, Founder and President of Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny, and author of From Rage to Responsibility: Black Conservative Jesse Lee Peterson and America Today
"I was struck by the academic possibilities of this compilation. Educators, counselors and scholars would find it very useful. Having these ideas collected in one place and accessible would be very convenient for those who are speaking to, or working with, young people."
--JOHNNETTA B. COLE, Director of the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, President Emerita of Spelman and Bennett Colleges, Chair of the JBC Institute, and author of Gender Talk: The Struggle For Women's Equality in African American Communities
"A great piece of work. Every student, of every color, should read this. It should be part of the social studies curriculum."
--ANDREW D. WASHTON, author of What Happens Next? Stories to Finish for Intermediate Writers, Teachers College Press, Columbia University
