Dr. Howard Fuller Fuller's most recent book, "No Struggle No Progress" is based on the truth he found in the words of African-American statesman and abolitionist Frederick Douglass: 'Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will.' An Education Week review of Fuller's recent book concludes, "Howard has always worried a helluva lot more about fighting for his principles than about placating his friends."
