In this book, Linda uses poetry as a means of teaching black people about their history, heritage and culture. She wrote this book with zealous devotion to people of African descent, in hopes of reminding them of their strengths, inspiring them to get back on track, and motivating them to strive to be all that God intended.
Editorial : From the Author History had always been my least favorite subject in school, mainly because as a black student in a public school system made up of white teachers, all I was ever taught about black people was that we were the descendant of slaves. Furthermore, I was lead to believe that the only contribution black people ever made to the world was the invention of peanut butter. As an adult, I decided to research black history on my own. I've discovered that there is more to our history than slavery, and we've contributed so much more to the world than just peanut butter. With this book, I use poetic expression to share some of what I've discovered.
The reason why I bought the CD was because I had had one of the songs stuck in my head for about a year. Though I half-guessed the twists at the end (the one about who the Dark Lord really was and how they would defeat him), it was still very well done and worked within the story. For me, though, I don't think I'll be changing teams to join economists any time soon. Maybe even a little popular mechanics thrown in for good measure. He especially loves this one. Still, for a coffee table, I figured this would be a good buy.
After seeing the photos on google images, I knew I should have followed my instict and passed on this. I bought this book for a master's course. Philip B. She does not let women use PMS as an excuse for hurtful behavior towards others. I've found so many minor errors that I wish I could just send the book back. "The slavers will not take me! Am I not old and mean? Is it not said `The Crocodile will not eat old wrinkled adder snake?'"
