Reviews'This book is unique: it reads equally well as a compelling narrative and as an authoritative reference work--a rare feat indeed.' - Michael A. Mallory, Executive Director, Ron Brown Scholar Program "Leffler and Bond have put together a book of vital importance to the critical work of developing and fostering Black leadership in America--it also happens to be a remarkably comprehensive account of the greatest movement for justice in American history. Like the Federal Writers' Project to compile slave narratives, Black Leaders on Leadership provides first-hand accounts of the valiant struggles of some of the most important activists America has ever produced. It should be required reading in the curriculum of every high school in America." - Wade Henderson, President & CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, The Leadership Conference Education Fund 'Black Leaders on Leadership is indeed a remarkable work. The diverse experiences and perspectives of the men and women chronicled in these pages (and available through digitized videos) make this book essential reading for all who wish to understand the history of the United States in the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries.' - Annette Gordon-Reed, Charles Warren Professor of American Legal History, Professor of History, and Carol K. Pforzheimer Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University, USA

SynopsisDrawing on a wealth of oral interviews collected by activist and politician Julian Bond and historian Phyllis Leffler, Black Leaders on Leadership uses the lives of prominent African Americans from all sectors of society to trace the contours of Black leadership in America. Included here are fascinating accounts from a wide variety of figures such as John Lewis, Clarence Thomas, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Vernon Jordan, Angela Davis, Amiri Baraka, and many more. Stories of identity are foregrounded here - stories about the self, about group and community, about value and meaning. These individual and collective memories form a genealogy of social and cultural identity, demonstrating how leadership emerges from historical struggle rooted in the promise of a brighter future, and providing valuable insights into the intractable disparities of race in America. A website -http://www.blackleadership.virginia.edu - hosts the complete interviews, is fully searchable by topic, and allows the voices and the faces of those interviewed to come alive on the pages of the book through the use of QR codes. Educators will also find seven leadership lessons for use in classrooms on the website and a full glossary of terms in both printed and electronic formats., Drawing on a wealth of oral interviews, Conversations on Black Leadership uses the lives of prominent African Americans to trace the contours of Black leadership in America. Included here are fascinating accounts from a wide variety of figures such as John Lewis, Clarence Thomas, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Angela Davis, Amiri Baraka, and many more.
