"This book cuts to the heart of the challenges and dilemmas of teaching in today's urban schools.
Dr. Reese has captured the exhilaration that results from the efforts of a teacher who can inspire poor and minority students to believe in themselves and achieve the possibilities of the American Dream. His analysis of urban education may startle and shock some observers but it is written with a refreshing honesty that conveys the excitement and joy of preparing a new generation to remake the world and achieve social justice for all. Teachers, students and parents will find this book inspiring." Professor Patrick J. O'Connor: Worcester State University Academia isn’t the only area where America has an achievement gap, it also exists in the workforce and the housing market. Dr. Reese brings this reality to life with a straight forward, no nonsense approach to the plight of black children, specifically black males, across America. In Hope in the Midst of Hopelessness, Reese critically examines research and calls out for an educational revolution, adeptly noting that change is not nearly enough, progress needs to occur as well.
Not since, Reading Don’t Fix No Chevys, has a examined research of what plagues the American educational system as it relates to the black community. Dr. Reese’s honest and reflective approach startles, while at the same time offers hope for a brighter future. His words speak not only to the black community but, most poignantly, to the white community to stand up and promote progress in America for ALL her citizens. John J.
