"The inspiring story of how one woman gave back."--Ed Bradley<p>"This is a heartwarming story about struggle, survival, and achieve ment. If we didn't know people like this in our lives, we would want to invent them. What more could one ask? A good story told with a deft hand."--William H. Gray III President, United Negro College Fund<p>"An inspiring account of an African American educator determined to make a difference in the lives of indifferent students."--Kirkus Reviews<p>"Tell Them We Are Rising is a wonderful, inspiring story of service, commitment, generosity, love, and hope. It is written with the humor, wisdom, and grace of a bygone era, yet spiced with the ultramodern savvy and the future-oriented vision of a twenty-year-old. What an extraordinary woman! What an extraordinary life!"--Chaka Fattah, U.S. Representative (Pennsylvania)
