I read this book in fall of 1998. It changed my life. Within months I founded one of the largest youth-led political action organizations in my city. All before the age of 18. This book framed our original emphasis, pronounced our values and lead us to advanced resources when we were ready. Several of us went out to organize in college.

This book gives a concise look at the American educational system, institutional racism, elitism within the ranks black grassroots orgs, organizing strategies, values and ethics, building coalitions, surviving white educational and workplaces, major Afrikan-American liberation ideologies (political, religious and spiritual) and gives a list of current speakers, intellectuals, activists, organizers and religious figures that every Black student should study and replicate.

For its size, it absolutely amazing how much information is in here. I recommend this book, while any copies are available.

Collectors: When this book is out of print, do not pay more than $30 for a used copy. That is the going rate for this rare book within most BLACK BOOKSTORES that specialize in hard-to-find titles
