Burton counters misconceptions about separatism by illustrating how historically Black institutions have encouraged individual and community progress through an examination of three key spaces: historically Black colleges and universities, Black churches, and the Divine Nine (the council of historically African American sororities and fraternities). Each chapter includes reflection questions designed to provoke discussion and critical thinking around philosophical thought and practical application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compelling text will be useful for scholars, researchers, and graduate students in Higher Education, Sociology, African American Studies, and Religious Studies who want to understand the impact of philosophical thought on Black community advancement. It will also be of value to faculty and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practitioners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heather E.
