A theoretical examination of the concepts of the citizen,
citizenship, and leadership, A Crisis of Leadership and the Role of
Citizens in Black America: Leaders of the New School proposes to
develop a prototype or model of effective Black leadership.
Furthermore, it examines "citizenship habits" of the Black
community based on their economic standing, educational attainment,
participation in the criminal justice system, and health and family
structure. It tracks data in these four categories from 1970 to
today, measuring effective leadership by the improvement or decline
in the majority of African Americans standing in these four
categories. This book concludes that African Americans have
negative perceptions of themselves as U.S. citizens, which thus
produce "bad citizenship habits." Additionally, ineffective Black
leaders since the Civil Rights era have been unwilling to
demonstrate the purpose and significance of service, particularly
to the poor and disadvantaged members of the Black community.
Contemporary Black leaders (post-Civil Rights Era) have focused
primarily on self-promotion, careerism, and middle-class interests.
A new type of leader is needed, one that stresses unity and
reinforces commitment to the group as a whole by establishing new
institutions that introduce community-building.
