The Long Journey Home recounts the history of the black Community of Princeton, New Jersey, from 1776-1976. This was a much-needed journey through the pages of history to rediscover a community’s past. The struggles for religious, social and educational equality were faced with determination by a proud community that stood on the threshold of American history and witnessed the growth of a great nation as it stayed in the background. This book is an attempt to bring that history into the foreground to take its rightful place in the development of this nation.

No Excuses examines the economic and political structures of global market forces in the new millennium. It challenges urban America to become proficient in those skills necessary to survive in an ever changing and challenging market economy. Such skills will require academic proficiency over verbal rhetoric. The new market forces care little for social arguments that are grounded in historical transgressions of a past era. The shifting economic design of the new market forces engages a fresh and challenging dialog to achieve the desired results. Such challenges are grounded in competence, skill and vision. The shifting design of market interest retains one major goal: expanding the base of the market venues. Within the last thirty years, the venues have shifted from Western Europe to venues in the Middle and Far East. This shift is not by design, but necessity and thus it comports with the same values as those set forth by European interests. In short, produce those services that expand the base of interest or perish for a lack thereof. The challenges are intense and the market venues are diverse. In this new global economy, directors of the market forces will accept NO EXCUSES for failure to produce the desired results. For those of us who enjoyed the phenomenal historical and cultural analysis of White Collar Factory, Dr. Jack Washington provides yet another excellent and scholarly in-depth analysis that calls all of us as intellectuals, scholars, educators, social change agents, policy makers, parents, and advocates of children, to awaken to the possibilities of true reform in the new millennium. This work is by far his best and serves as a blueprint for much needed change.
