I enjoy the book so much, that I give copies to my clients, family and friends. An excellent book that is easy to read and follow. Makes a great gift to parents and teachers.

An excellent handbook for African-American parents. The advice given is practical without being "preachy" and provided in the manner that you would use when discussing these things at the kitchen table. A Great job!

This is a must-have book for every parent! It's right on point as far as what our children need to know! Parents must take charge of their childrens education!

I met Baruti K. Kafele two weeks ago where he is Principal of Essex Vocational and Technical High School in Newark, New Jersey. He is a wonderful principal. He is one of those kind of principals that will be famous for all the right reasons. His students (700 of them) are well disciplined. Mr. Kafele gladly spends his Saturday mornings administering school detention for students who don't hand in homework or are late to school twice in the week or for whatever reason. I don't have the book but I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Kafele who spends his time not behind closed office doors doing office work. He makes unexpected visits to his teachers' classrooms. He expects the students (all 700 of them) are required to have 2 hours of homework a night including studying and reading. Mr. Kafele is on fire as he says and he expects his students to achieve beyond their expectations. Mr. Kafele does not think of his position as a principal as a vocation but a mission.

Thank you Brother Baruti for this and EVERY FUTURE contribution you make to the "awakening" of Black people!
