Book excerpt: Great leaders make an impact: they challenge beliefs and change the way things are done; they shape the course of history. Some are born leaders, the vast majority become leaders. Most achieve fame and recognition in their lifetime; a few die unrecognised, leaving their legacy to shine after they have gone. Not all these hundred great leaders were worldly, not all were virtuous and some were even seriously flawed, but they all made a difference to the world in which we live; for better, and at times for worse, men and women chose to follow them. From the founders of religions, to reformers and explorers, statesmen and military commanders, revolutionaries and businessmen, these are stories of the determination and courage, selfishness and self-sacrifice, humility and egoism, greed and generosity, genius and luck, imagination and innovation that transformed these hundred men and women into great leaders.

Download or read book 100 Greatest African Americans written by Molefi Kete Asante and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1619, when Africans first came ashore in the swampy Chesapeake region of Virginia, there have been many individuals whose achievements or strength of character in the face of monumental hardships have called attention to the genius of the African American people. This book attempts to distill from many wonderful possibilities the 100 most outstanding examples of greatness. Pioneering scholar of African American Studies Molefi Kete Asante has used four criteria in his selection: the individual''s significance in the general progress of African Americans toward full equality in the American social and political system; self-sacrifice and the demonstration of risk for the collective good; unusual will and determination in the face of the greatest danger or against the most stubborn odds; and personal achievement that reveals the best qualities of the African American people. In adopting these criteria Professor Asante has sought to steer away from the usual standards of popular culture, which often elevates the most popular, the wealthiest, or the most photogenic to the cult of celebrity. The individuals in this book - examples of lasting greatness as opposed to the ephemeral glare of celebrity fame - come from four centuries of African American history. Each entry includes brief biographical information, relevant dates, an assessment of the individual''s place in African American history with particular reference to a historical timeline, and a discussion of his or her unique impact on American society. Numerous pictures and illustrations will accompany the articles. This superb reference work will complement any library and be of special interest to students and scholars of American and African American history.
