About this ebook
Reverend Dr. Romando James
Rev. Dr. Romando James, PhD, professor emeritus at Clemson University, is the founder of Operation Common Sense with PRIDE Ministries, which operates on the paradigm Your Roots Control Your Fruits. Operation PRIDE was created with a mission and vision to lead and encourage youth, adults, and inmates into personal and growing relationships with Common Sense with PRIDE by encouraging them to maximize and pursue the following acronyms: P—Purpose R—Respect I—Integrity D—Determination and Discipline E—Enthusiasm These five roots are aimed to create a continuous cycle of achievement for future harmony. Dr. James’s vision is to reproduce his paradigm of PRIDE in order that this element will promote peace in an atmosphere and time of war, racial and religious inequality, and political differences.
