Dr. Leon’s essay asks the right questions about race and democracy. Dr. Julianne Malveaux, economist and author, Are We Better Off: Race, Obama and Public Policy, described the book this way, “In an era when too many are silenced for fear of rocking the boat of the status quo, Wilmer Leon has signaled his willingness to go out on a limb and speak truth to power. Bravo!” Dr. Cornel West, educator, author and philosopher, said, “Wilmer Leon is one of the few Black prophetic voices in the age of Obama. This book confirms this status – courageous, visionary and consistent!”
