This book is about America, particularly as it relates to the intellectual image of students of American slave descent. Americans, regardless of their ethnic or racial background, who genuinely participate in this dialogue regarding race, will move America closer to realizing its dream for all citizens and providing for domestic tranquility that allows the continuous pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness at home and abroad. Therefore, we must continue this necessary but uncomfortable dialogue regarding racial conditioning and education between the African-American and the Euro-American. We are all tied together by a common heritage and a mutual destiny of bringing about a more perfect union. Now the journey begins in the metamorphosis of the student of American slave descent from three-fifths of a pupil to a whole student. Surely such a metamorphosis will make that which is whole, equal.
