It has been said that there are two things that held together great Black civilizations: honor and obligation. But how can students honor ancestors they were never taught about and how can they fulfill obligations they were never made unaware of? This book assists today's students with knowledge and insights for life skills and career development as they learn about the culture, views and values that have sustained Africans and African Americans for centuries and even millennia. This book is an indispensable resource that contains activities and questions for thought, reflection and discussion at the end of each chapter. In addition, it contains embedded, live video links of Dr. Akua explaining key concepts from the book.
