Abstract

This paper recounts some of the lessons I have learned from African Americans, including those I taught at Howard University, from research, from my struggle for pay equity, from my experiences with leadership organizing a community event, and from having cancer. I do not think any of these “lessons” are unique to me. I hope that sharing them will be helpful to others. Many of these lessons are about empowerment and acceptance.
