The article’s introduction reads as follows:
“They are talented, educated, young Black men and women, who are soaring to tremendous heights and making accomplishments in the areas of law, politics, religion, communications, academia, music, arts and entertainment. On these pages you will find pastors, business executives, media giants and other movers and shakers in the making. Already, each knows the importance of giving back to their communities, and their actions reflect the burgeoning leader within.
