African and African-American Voices on Educational Leadership: Counter Cultural Images and Narratives.

Donelan, Richard W.

International Journal of Educational Reform, v2 n4 p418-24 Oct 1993

Africentric ideas about leaders and leadership have remained part of the African Diaspora's cultural underpinnings over time. Slavery experiences predispose the African-American community to reject strong, natural leadership. This article and accompanying poem recount stories about the African-American experience and profile some true leaders. True educational leadership is based on high principles.
