Blacks need to read more Booker T Washington, and stop listening to the Jesse’s and Al’s of the world.

I read his autobiography as a young woman starting out, and I can honestly say his book inspired me deeply to persevere and deliver quality results at work, regardless of the prejudice directed at me almost constantly in the 70s and 80s. His book should be required reading in every high school.

But that wouldn't be "keepin' it real."
