In Accountable, New York Times bestselling author Tavis Smiley addresses two issues: Public officials and the promises they have made regarding issues of concern to the African American community; and holding individuals and communities accountable for the degree to which they have utilized various tools and strategies outlined in his previous books, The Covenant and The Covenant in Action, to effect change. In sum, this book will explore how well the covenant goals have been realized. It explores topics such as healthcare, education, the unequal justice system, and jobs, and it will do so through storyreal life examples of how an issue manifests itself on the ground.

It will make the case for American citizens to be driven by ';the cause and not the candidate,' and demonstrate the need to hold our politicians and ourselves accountablebecause the stakes have never been higher.
