Enough, by Juan Williams

Subtitle: the phony leaders, dead-end movements, and culture of failure that are undermining Black America - and what we can do about it. Williams is excited by Bill Cosby's perceptive, focused challenge to parents in his famous speech celebrating the anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling. "Study," Cosby (and Williams) tells students. "That's all." Williams quotes statistics such as the difference in the amount of time spent studying by white, African-American, Hispanic and Asian students, the amount of time spent watching TV, the number of middle-class African-Americans leaving inner city schools, and time spent by parents helping their children with homework. It all points to more parental involvement. Williams is scathing of so-called civil rights leaders who help their own families to succeed, but don't lead marches on our failing schools or stand in front of crack houses.
