Our Information Clearinghouse provides information about the successes of African Americans. Much of the information that is available about African Americans focuses upon deficits, deficiencies, and failures. But there are many African Americans who are thriving in society, so it’s important to look at their success attitudes, behaviors, and strengths. This can provide the key to success for many others.
