Strength Through Diversity

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"A timely and resonant work that explores how diverse perspectives and backgrounds can drive collective progress. . . . Goldenberg offers more than just a book-he offers a testament to what can be achieved when we come together across generations, backgrounds, and experiences to honor our past and build a better future." (Harlem World) "In Strength through Diversity, the story of Harlem Prep has been told with deep care for the people at the center of its research. Barry Goldenberg's dedication to preserving and presenting the voices of the people who made this extraordinary history has resurrected this incredible school and its mission to focus on people left behind and ignored by the mainstream education system. Hopefully, we will learn from and build from this inspiring book because, now more than ever, we need more schools like Harlem Prep." - Brian Purnell (author of Fighting Jim Crow in the County of Kings: The Congress of Racial Equality in Brooklyn) "The power of people's voices, stories, and histories are vital to understanding activism and resistance. In Strength Through Diversity Goldenberg captures an important and complex history of the struggle for educational justice in one of America's most important neighborhoods-Harlem. A beautiful read of how the commitment to multiculturalism, racial pride, and community engagement shaped the promise of Harlem Prep." - Tyrone C. Howard (Pritzker Family Endowed Chair of Education, University of California, Los Angeles)
