" Saving the African American Child (1984) offered a set of guidelines to stakeholders who have an interest in and commitment to the education of African
American children. Cultural and Educational Excellence Revisited suggests
that although this interest and commitment has captured the attention of researchers for over two decades, there is a need to take stock and make efforts to understand whether or not things have progressed, regressed or remained the
same."

"In Cultural and Educational Excellence Revisited the authors question the
assignment of time and effort to improve the performances of schools serving
learners of African descent while ignoring the cultural excellence issue. Of
what value is excellent school performance with learners of African descent,
we ask, if those learners are to graduate and enter a world not characterized by
cultural excellence?"

"In Cultural and Educational Excellence Revisited, the prevailing view of leadership
as the capacity to influence behaviors and attitudes in an organizational
context is explored against the opportunities for educational and cultural excellence."

"The view surrounds an expectation that leaders can produce positive results
through both their ability and willingness to think critically and solve problems.
This view can be examined by inspecting the content, subjects, and
knowledge covered in the curriculum of the schools historically."
