Book information
Description
In this inspiring and thought-provoking follow-up to his 2009 best-sellerMotivating Black Males to Achieve in School and in Life, Baruti Kafele makes the case that the "attitude gap" that often affects underperforming students can only be closed if educators first help students develop the will to strive for excellence.
