As I think more about African Americans recognizing the relationship between effectiveness and issues of their emergence I reach an important conclusion. It is that as African Americans see the role of effectiveness, they increase their capacity to take Initiative. This means that African Americans can take action to address difficulties they are facing. This applies for African Americans as individuals, groups,
organizations, communities, and leaders. Therefore, African Americans can be more effective in both challenging unfair treatment they receive, as well as, find the means with which to take action on their own to meet the needs that they have.

As one of Dr. Bank’s former students, I must say that it is great to see that he is still working diligently on this issue. The work being presented is good stuff. As far as human effectiveness goes, I still think for many it is just a concept. It would be great to see how one goes about implementing effectiveness. Rather we need to see an application in real life events. I think this is the critical piece in understanding the strategies and the framework that has been presented here.
Dr. Banks keep up the good work.

Dr. Banks’ presentation was very valuable. Unlike many others, he discusses actual, operationalized answers to many of the challenges we face today in America. The models presented here provide a clear illustration of his ideas.

Very interesting commentary . . . from probably a very common situation facing Blacks in this country. I don’t know what region you and your daughter were traveling, but in my opinion, it has no bearing on the situation, I truly believe it could happen anywhere in the lower 48 states. Police officers are trained to identify rental vehicles, this very was case of double jeopardy–first being Black, and the second driving a vehicle knowingly not belonging to the driver.
