"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.

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."
