Still On this Journey: The Vision and Mission of Dr. Ron Daniels

Autor Ron D. Daniels
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 sep 2019
This book focuses on the vision, mission, values and philosophy which have served as the driving force behind my near lifelong journey for justice and provides perspectives on the Institute of the Black World 21st Century (IBW) as the culminating project, my legacy endeavor. The medium for accomplishing this is through selected Vantage Point articles and essays published in Black and progressive newspapers over these many years. And, of course there is a concluding section on IBW.
Conscious of the reality that we stand on the shoulders of our ancestors and that success is is not a solitary accomplishment, but the result of the contributions of family, friends and supporters, in the Autobiographical Acknowledgements, I delight in calling the names of scores of people who have made me what I have become. It's been a long time coming, but the first book is finally here
