Author Description

Professor/Elder Mahmoud El-Kati and ten scholars-activists-educators, with collectively over hundreds of years of experience in the successful education of students of African descent, as a collective body of thought, answer the most answerable questions regarding this issue - who, what, why, and how. These community leaders and problem-solvers based in the Twin Cities of Minnesota have produced thought-provoking literary pieces to help our community wrap their minds and hearts around this age-old educational crisis. The education of African/Black children is vital to the survival of African communities locally and globally.
