 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.

America Beyond the Color Line with Henry Louis Gates Jr.DVD
~ Following his acclaimed PBS series "Wonders
of the African World," Dr.
Henry Louis Gates Jr. now travels the United States to examine
African American life and culture at the start of the new century. In four one-hour films,
Gates
visits four different parts of America and interviews the individuals who are
defining black America--from the most famous and influential (Maya
Angelou,
Alicia Keys,
Samuel L. Jackson,
Colin Powell) to those at the grassroots.
Gates
is forced to confront the complicated issues of race, identity, integration,
culture, class, historical legacy, and what it means to be black in America
today.
