Reviews

"Dr. Joseph L. White, the Father of Black Psychology, was a consummate scholar, teacher, educator, and mentor. This book is a manifestation of his "Freedom Train;" a train of generations of his mentees who continue to carry his legacy of examining the effects of the lack of cultural representation in mental health, educational research, and organizational leadership, forward. Joe (as he was affectionately known to all) always said he would know it was time for him to rest when his mentees surpassed him--this book is a testimony to everything he poured into those who have contributed their outstanding work to this book." – The White Sisters (Lori White, Lynn White Kell , and Lisa White)"By reading the chapters in this text, you will bear witness to Dr. White’s enduring contribution to the lives of past and future generations. The futures of (liberation) psychologies are bright because of the paths Dr. White paved. Hop on the Freedom Train. Be inspired to continue the legacy of Dr. White."- Helen A. Neville, Professor of Educational Psychology and African American Studies, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
