Paris, in his influential book "The Spirituality of African Peoples, showed how the religious and moral values of Africa have pervaded African American life and thought. In this excerpt, discussing six particular virtues, he shows how the African worldview enriched and ennobled African American notions of morality and values, of public virtue, and of meaningful life.
