 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.

 We
Beat the Street: How a Friendship Led to Success by
Sampson Davis,
George Jenkins,
Rameck Hunt,
Sharon M. Draper (Hardcover
- April 21, 2005)
Sampson,
George, and
Rameck could easily have followed
their childhood friends into drug dealing, gangs, and prison. Like their
peers, they came from poor, single-parent homes in urban neighborhoods
where survival, not scholastic success, was the priority. When the three
boys met in a magnet high school in Newark, they recognized each other
as kindred spirits who wanted to overcome the incredible odds against
them and reach for opportunity. They made a friendship pact, deciding
together to take on the biggest challenge of their lives: attending
college and then medical school. Along the way they made mistakes and
faced disappointments, but by working hard, finding the right mentors,
separating themselves from negative influences, and supporting each
other, they achieved their goals—and more. (Reading level: Ages 9-12) |
