"<i>Black Stats</i> is an important resource for anyone seeking a better understanding of the status of Black America."<br />—Benjamin Todd Jealous, former President and CEO, NAACP<br />
<br />"Thank you, Monique Morris, for this gift of knowledge. <i>Black Stats</i> is a brilliant and needed work. We can no longer claim that we didn't know the depth of our crises or the wealth of our resources and resilience available to counter them. Now that we have the data, we must use it strategically to move our people—the nation and this troubled world—forward."<br />—Susan L. Taylor, Founder & CEO, National CARES Mentoring Movement, Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, Essence Magazine<br />
<br />"<i>Black Stats</i> is a great tool offering descriptive statistics on the condition of our nation's promise of freedom, justice, equality and economic opportunity for all."<br />—Marc H. Morial, President and CEO, National Urban League
