Description:

Urban issues and creative African American leadership are addressed in this compendium of art, quotations, and critical essays. As the media and the internet continue to change the face of American culture, the tradition of political tomes and textbooks as primary information sources is quickly becoming outmoded. The solution utilized here is geared toward bringing plain and simple truths to a new generation of readers who seek useful information—striking and immediate—regarding politics, race, affirmative action, justice, and gender.
