‘WORKING BY FAITH’ ‘WORKING BY FAITH’
George Washington Carver - viewed faith as a means of destroying both barriers of racial disharmony and social stratification. He compiled a list of eight cardinal virtues for his students to strive toward: *Neither look up to the rich nor down on the poor. *Lose, if need be, without squealing. *Be clean both inside and out. *Win without bragging. *Always be considerate of women, children, and older people. *Be too brave to lie. *Be too generous to cheat. *Take your share of the world and let others take theirs. |

The NABC team works with historic African American communities to help them recognize, promote and capitalize upon their existing assets, through its asset mapping process and by coordinating the efforts of local chambers, business and community organizations. A community’s assets may include culture and historical its natural resources, recreational sites, local eateries, or historical buildings and monuments. Once assets are identified, the team recommends strategies to community leaders that will promote and develop the assets to further strengthen the local community and economy.
