 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.

![Standing in the Shadows of Motown [SOUNDTRACK]](../images/p/B00006JCGI.01.THUMBZZZ.jpg) Standing in the Shadows of Motown [SOUNDTRACK] ~ Various Artists in Music
~ The
phenomenal story of Motown has been told many times--so many in fact, that
the notion of an untold part of its legacy seems far-fetched. But as the
documentary film Standing
In The Shadows of Motown
demonstrates, there was more to the success of the Detroit-based label
than singing babes in gowns and founder
Berry Gordy's business acumen.
