Written by John P. Hamilton, Ed.D., (co-author of The Elevator is Broken) has created a tool for educators from elementary to college as well as parents to utilize.

What are educators saying about Vainglorious?
"Hamilton has written an excellent book to improve the retention of African American male college students." -- Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu, Author of Black College Student Survival Guide
"The book by Dr. Hamilton is a refreshing portrayal of African American males and a remarkably insightful work. I urge every reader to study it and use its solutions as ways to ensure African American male success." -- Dr. Molefi Kete Asante, Professor, Temple University Author, The Afrocentric Idea
"Rather than adding to the plethora of negativity on the subject of African American males in higher education, Dr. Hamilton chose to seek out what makes these students succeed at college and tell the world. It is my hope that the research described here changes the conversation from what is wrong to what is right so that right can be replicated in all our schools - secondary to post-secondary to the benefit of us all." -- Karen Carmichael, Loyola Marymount University Learning Resource Center, Associate Director
