Reviews
"The interviews are intriguing and enlightening. . . . Henry Adams states:
A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. Adams does not exclude the African-American teacher in these thoughts. Our young teachers need the direction and leadership provided by mentors of all types. As a long-time educator in the public schools of a struggling state with a significant African-American population, I find Dr. Ware’s work to be a most worthwhile contribution to the body of literature in our teacher training institutions.”
- Prof. Thomas V. Fraschillo, University of Southern Mississippi
