Dr. Samuel L. Banks was the director of social studies in the Baltimore City Schools. He spearheaded the incorporation of multicultural curriculum in the school system and had national influence in this area. Dr. Banks was also a widely published author. His many essays and letters to the editor stimulated discussions about education, history, African Americans, civil rights, and the administration of justice in this country. In this collection of his most recent writings, Dr. Banks discusses such timely topics as the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King and the jubilation in South Africa at the end of Apartheid.

Collis D. Patterson is a public school teacher in the Baltimore City Schools who single-handedly published this book with no help from big time publishers.
