"Drs. James L. Moore III and Chance W. Lewis have done a mighty and meaningful thing for the field of black male achievement, and our country as a whole, with publishing African American males in PreK-12 schools: Informing research, practice, and policy. They have accomplished the invaluable feat of organizing some of the nation's most brilliant minds to deliver a robust body of sound research and science which should be used to inform the educational, programmatic, and policy vision of what it means to even the playing field for black boys growing up in America. If we truly intend to weave a thread of racial equity within the current education reform debate, Drs. Moore and Lewis present a poignant and, at times piercing, path pointing us all toward academic success for African American males."
