Earl Graves is active in a variety of associations. Notable examples are the Boy Scouts of America, New American Schools Development Corporation, TransAfrica Forum, Glass Ceiling Commission, American Museum of National History and Planetarium, and Chairman of the Black Business Council. When I can act as an instrument to make it happen for legitimate and reasonable people, I do it. It is clear from reading the above excerpt, his participation in Let's Talk Business Radio, as well as from his book that Graves is a man of foresight , community, and integrity. The simple fact is that many people cannot see beyond their own condition but those of you who can are among those who change the world.
Graves is such a man.
Additional excerpts in the book discuss the need to have solidarity in communities. The social responsibility we all share is paramount to each and every person's growth. People such as Graves and Drucker have the foresight to merely look at the human condition and factors facing this condition from a point outside our daily lives and see the change taking place in business and society.
