African-Americans and other minority high school and college students seeking career guidance will want to buy the newly published book "Black and Powerful: The Career Guide For Tomorrow?s Top Leaders" (Airleaf Publishing) written by Voorhees resident Rubin Britt, assistant director of Rowan University's Career and Academic Planning Center.

His career includes stints as a consultant for the U.S. Department of Education, the Educational Testing Service and a host of other colleges and organizations.
