Book Review: Learning to be Free

freedom of learning and life. This means that Black educators must keep abreast of new innovations, research studies and alternatives that will stimulate and sustain Afro-American learners in their effort toward free learning environments. ... According to Watts, the money that will be needed to maintain and suppon the operational structure of such an educational environment should be tapped from as many resources as possible. The financial sources he maintains will primarily be governmental agencies, social institutions, private foundations and private professional community organizations. Money is not enough, he concludes; emphasis must be placed on creative thoughts and cooperative efforts in its expenditure to produce learners for a lifetime of freedom pursuits. Watts has very painstakingly exhausted the educational research studies and documents that have been written by leading educators and scholars over the last few years, in his analysis of the urban learning community. Any serious student or educator concerned with innovated and varied approaches to solving the problems facing the educational system will find this work well worth reading. The extensive bibliography and references that Watts provides are a necessary part of any scholar's work and have been presented in clear and concise manner to provide the reader with a strong foundation for further researches. In a realistic manner, he is making a personal effort, through this publication, to make real what he professes as an educator of his people.
