Commentary: Characteristics Of African-American Leadership, Wornie L. Reed
Trotter Review
Discussions about the progress of African-Americans frequently involve discussions about the nature and strength of black leadership and leadership roles. Increasingly such discussions contend that with the growth and diversification of the African-American community there can be no one leader for a black America — if there ever was such a thing.

As these arguments develop it may be useful to examine the nature of leadership in general and the historical patterns of African-American leadership in particular.
