US News & World Report's John Leo wrote another courageous article, as he always does, telling truths seldom seen in print or any of the dominant news media. This one happens to be about courageous black conservatives who "have paid a heavy price for holding views that run counter to the line set by the civil rights establishment." Among them are Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and Larry Elder, whose books are contained in our recommended reading. Racial barriers will continue to exist as long as so-called racial leaders are able to maintain there personal power by convincing people that they are and will always be victims.

Leo is quoted often in our book, "America's Crisis," and he's worth reading for information about America's real concerns.
