The society's needs shape its moral values, and in Black American ghettos, heroes are those who, despite receiving only minimal resources, use their intelligence and courage to achieve remarkable success. Examples include a janitor who owns a luxury car or a domestic who purchases expensive shoes—they are admired because they demonstrate the use of full potential and resourcefulness. Their accomplishments reflect individual efforts that contribute to the broader community’s progress.

"Each single gain feeds into the gains of the body collective," emphasizes that individual successes in these contexts uplift the entire community. These achievements symbolize resilience and determination, showing how personal ingenuity can transform limited circumstances into symbols of pride and upward mobility, inspiring others in similar situations to strive for greater success.
