"In the 21st century, we need more research around the experiences of Black administrators and the impact of their leadership in diverse higher education settings. Terence Hicks and Lemuel Watson book fill this research void by providing narratives from the voices of Black administrators and students who toil the higher education terrain." --Abul Pitre, Fayetteville State University, North Carolina "What an insightful collection of explorations and narratives giving testament to the importance of knowing our professional and personal selves. To thine own selves be true, and therein, begins the journey of leadership for and in higher education. Reflections from these transparent accounts in Terence Hicks and Lemuel Watson edited volume reaffirm this simple truth." --RoSusan D. Bartee, Professor of Educational Leadership, University of Mississippi.
