"<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.

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
