 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.

 Go
Long!: My Journey Beyond the Game and the Fame by
Jerry Rice and
Brian Curtis (Authors) (Hardcover - Jan
16, 2007) It’s been a long journey for
Jerry Rice, from his childhood in Starkville, Mississippi, to a
certain berth in the
Pro Football Hall of Fame. As a kid, he was always
working toward something, even if he wasn’t sure what it was. Rice honed
his hand-eye coordination by catching airborne bricks tossed by his
siblings while on the job with their bricklayer father, and he
ran–everywhere. From these humble beginnings, Rice blazed a path to
greatness in college and the NFL–a trip that was fueled by tireless
effort and belief in a few simple principles, among them that
achievement is a voyage, not a destination; that modesty and
perseverance, not talent, are what determine how far you will go; and
that everyone should strive to be a role model. Rice even demonstrates
these rules in action, breaking down the greatest games from his stellar
career. |
