From Barnes & Noble
The third volume in Tavis Smiley's Covenant series exhibits the same thoughtful attributes that made the previous installments such valuable additions to dialogues about the black community. Accountable: Making America as Good as Its Promise aims at setting practical standards for political and social leaders to assure that agendas will not only be established but also remain on track. Like its predecessors, this book by the PBS and radio personality is a model of measured, pragmatic, instructive thought.
