"Each one must reach one and teach one, " says George Fraser. "We've got
to connect and work together - because we have no choice! We can't
expect others to do for us that which we will not do for ourselves. A
movement in the twenty-first century to more effectively network and
leverage our collective resources and intellectual capital will parallel
the importance of the civil rights movement of the twentieth century.
African Americans must start now. We must get together to get ahead."
With scores of anecdotes taken from interviews with successful African
Americans, Fraser shows how to network for information, for influence,
and for resources - not just for individual attainment, but also for the
benefit of the entire African-American community. A call for the revival
of Afrocentric communal spirit among the millions of African Americans
seeking personal and professional success, Success Runs in Our Race is
an inspirational, information-packed bible of networking. It features
new insights into how Kwanzaa, tribalism, the new Urban Village, and
Rites of Passage will help increase your effectiveness in the community.
More than a guide for personal achievement, Success Runs in Our Race
seeks also to inspire a social movement and a rebirth of the Underground
Railroad in which successful African Americans share the lessons of
self-determination and empowerment with those still struggling to scale
the ladder of success.
