COMMUNITY the education system deliver on its moral and ethical mandate for educating African-American students, which requires political involvement. African-American families, and society as a whole, should aim for a greater degree of good, and at the highest level, create a more perfect society by instilling values such as respect for each other, determination, honesty, loyalty, love, integrity, pursuit of knowledge, education, and wisdom. These values assist the African-American family, as well as society as a whole, to determine right from wrong.
