Wanted-Leaders! A Study Of Negro Development, (Paperback)

Theodore DeBose Bratton, a well-known African American educator and civil rights activist, wrote the book "Wanted-Leaders: A Study of Negro Development". The difficulties that African Americans have in trying to advance socially and economically in the US are examined in the book. According to Bratton, developing strong leadership is essential for African Americans to advance both within their own communities and in society at large. In addition to examining the past and present of African American leadership, Bratton makes a number of recommendations for how to enhance the growth of African American leadership. He emphasizes the value of community-based organizations in encouraging leadership development and makes the case that education and self-improvement are crucial elements in creating good leaders.
