Book excerpt: AUTHOR'S NOTE: All proceeds relating to BLACKAMUNDO! (net of essential fees) will be directed toward reading for children whose circumstances have robbed them of the intellectual nourishment that all children need.America must recapture and revive the spirit and practices of Booker T. Washington, according to a longtime educator/adviser who places Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King, Jr. alongside BTW at the pinnacle of America's greatest heroes. Prof. T-Bone laments that educators, MassMedia and various politicians have convinced generations of America's most vulnerable minds that they are hated by America because of their ethnicity, and believes new approaches to early-life reading and Affirmative Action would spark a resumed push for Racial Reconciliation. Just as Booker T. Washington urged assimilation, cooperation and personal diligence as he educated a race of Americans for the first time, we must revive his spirit, once again "lift the veil of ignorance," and in so doing, abolish the New Slavery. A lifelong integrationist, Prof. T-Bone draws on his unique mix of educational life experiences for his insights into race and culture. Prof. T-Bone promotes simple steps that would ensure an immediate improvement in America's police-community relations. His views on political correctness and ethnic humor are sure to inspire a lively conversation, and his "BLACKAMUNDO Race Cards" contains an impressive mix of his past and present Black American heroes. Prof. T-Bone exudes great confidence that a more perfect union is close within our reach as America follows her heroes' ideals and leadership examples. See the BLACKAMUNDO!

INTRODUCTION/ACKNOWLEDGMENTSModern-day "Diogenes Quixote" engages in a humble self-analysis, self-diagnosis, self-deprecation, and paying the proper respects.CHAPTER 1--WHY I HAVE WRITTEN THIS BOOKBecause, as the Chambers Brothers crooned, "I Can't Stand It!"

Reading is the answer.CHAPTER 4--THE "N-WORD": NO ETHNIC EQUIVALENTIs it a misguided hypocrisy? Disingenuous wordplay? Or a legitimate distinction with a difference?CHAPTER 5--WHAT IS A HERO?Prof. T-Bone's heroes have lived righteously, and have found life's truths that set us free.CHAPTER 6--AT THE PINNACLE: AMERICA'S GREATEST HEROESFor these are jolly good fellows; that, nobody can deny. They peer down from the mountaintop.CHAPTER 7--PROF. T-BONE'S "DECK OF RACE CARDS": OTHER HEROES, PAST AND PRESENTSome of Prof. T-Bone's "Race Cards" have come and gone; others are scaling the mountain.CHAPTER 8--WALLY: MY HERO AND GREATEST INFLUENCEThe vessel from which flowed Prof. T-Bone's being, his ethos and his destiny.CHAPTER 9--WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?A delusion of great therapeutic value? Or, a $billion idea that funds reading centers from sea to shining sea? Could we abolish the New Slavery--together? Fellow Americans, let's take matters into our own hands, turn this movement into reality, and create reading centers throughout the land.
