Book Reviews of The Covenant with Black America

Book Review: book lover
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Summary of The Covenant with Black America

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.
