The African American Book of Values by Steven Barboza (Author) (Hardcover - Sep 15, 1998) In this massive anthology, Steven Barboza reveals the story of the African American as largely a story of good triumphing over evil, in a myriad of forms. "This book," he writes, "can give children, families, teachers and friends glimpses of values in action and provide moral examples that any reader can recognize." Culled from many short-story and novel excerpts, poems, and essays, the collection is divided into three distinct headings. "The Book of Self-Mastery" examines self-discipline, courage, honesty, self-esteem, work, tenacity, creativity, and faith through texts such as Ralph Ellison's "Little Man at Chehaw Station," historian Charles Blockson's heroic "The Ballad of the Underground Railroad," and Alain Locke's philosophical battle cry of the Harlem Renaissance, "The New Negro." Charles Chesnutt's "The Wife of His Youth," James Weldon Johnson's stereotype-smashing look at Harlem in "Black Manhattan," and Martin Luther King's immortal "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" illuminate many of the themes in "The Book of Empathy," including family, community and responsibility.

Making My Mark: The Story of a Man Who Wouldn't Stay in His Place by Marvin S. Arrington Sr. (Author) (Hardcover - Mar 2008) Lawyer, judge, public servant, trailblazer: these are only a few words to describe the remarkable accomplishments of the Honorable Marvin S. Arrington Sr., of Atlanta, Georgia. This autobiography is a testament of what happens when hard work and perseverance meet tenacity and optimism. It’s the story of a dedicated man, born in a segregated South who went on to break down racial barriers and build walls of inclusion and harmony. Judge Arrington was the first African American to become partner at an Atlanta law firm and then, later, established one of the largest and most successful minority law firms in the country. In 1969, through his own hard work and determination, Arrington became the youngest person ever elected to the Atlanta Board of Aldermen, which later became the Atlanta City Council. During Judge Arrington’s nearly thirty-year tenure on the Atlanta City Council, he served as city council president numerous times and remained fiercely devoted to being a voice for the voiceless: the elderly, the disadvantaged, the homeless, and others. Marvin Arrington's life and the history of the City of Atlanta have been inextricably intertwined for the last six decades. In fact, almost all of the individuals that have shaped Atlanta as it transitioned from a provincial segregated town into an international city have at some point crossed Atlanta's favorite native-born son. Arrington's Making My Mark is an illuminating behind-the-scenes account of the New South's emergence and a frank account of personal triumph against the odds by a ground-breaking Atlanta lawyer.
