ASCENT Press
ASCENT PRESS is a project of the Center for African American Policy (CAAP) at the University of Denver and is a newly established publishing division distributing books focused on public policy issues impacting the African American community. Funded by the University of Denver, ASCENT PRESS represents a larger effort by CAAP to create a continuum of unique information-driven properties, including publishing and CAAP's BlackPolicy.org project. The purpose of ASCENT is to identify quality non-fiction titles, assess their influence on shaping Black public policy, and market them to a large international audience eager to absorb such information. Standing in the Gap, written by Senator Peter C. Groff and Councilman Michael B. Hancock, is the first in a line up launch of cutting-edge titles acquired and promoted by ASCENT PRESS.
![]() Buy my Stuff at LuLu! PRAISE FOR STANDING IN THE GAP by Peter C. Groff, Esq. & Michael B. Hancock “I have found it exceedingly cogent and very close to what I have concluded about valuable leadership traits in the Black community.” Dr. Ronald Walters Director African American Leadership Institute University of Maryland “Standing in the Gap is outstanding - a seminal work of scholarship and political activism. Authors Groff and Hancock have a rare gift: the ability to break down history into usable parts with which we can then assemble a new, and better, future.” Glen Ford Publisher BlackCommentator.com "Groff and Hancock's vision provide the roadmap to guide leaders in the 21st Century and beyond. I recommend this book to every serious student and practitioner of leadership." Gregory Vaughn Easton, Senior Pastor Flipper Temple A.M.E. Church (Atlanta, GA) |
