Book excerpt: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY San Francisco Chronicle • The Plain Dealer The inspiring true story of a group of young men whose lives were changed by a visionary mentor On April 4, 1968, the death of Martin Luther King, Jr., shocked the nation. Later that month, the Reverend John Brooks, a professor of theology at the College of the Holy Cross who shared Dr. King’s dream of an integrated society, drove up and down the East Coast searching for African American high school students to recruit to the school, young men he felt had the potential to succeed if given an opportunity. Among the twenty students he had a hand in recruiting that year were Clarence Thomas, the future Supreme Court justice; Edward P. Jones, who would go on to win a Pulitzer Prize for literature; and Theodore Wells, who would become one of the nation’s most successful defense attorneys. Many of the others went on to become stars in their fields as well. In Fraternity, Diane Brady follows five of the men through their college years. Not only did the future president of Holy Cross convince the young men to attend the school, he also obtained full scholarships to support them, and then mentored, defended, coached, and befriended them through an often challenging four years of college, pushing them to reach for goals that would sustain them as adults. Would these young men have become the leaders they are today without Father Brooks’s involvement? Fraternity is a triumphant testament to the power of education and mentorship, and a compelling argument for the difference one person can make in the lives of others.

Download or read book The Awkward Black Man written by Walter Mosley and published by Grove Atlantic. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new collection of short fiction from the Edgar Award-winning author of Devil in a Blue Dress and Trouble is What I Do. With his extraordinary fiction and gripping television writing, Walter Mosley has proven himself a master of narrative tension. The Awkward Black Man collects seventeen of Mosley’s most accomplished short stories to showcase the full range of his remarkable talent. Touching, contemplative, and always surprising, these stories introduce an array of imperfect characters—awkward, self-defeating, elf-involved, or just plain odd. In The Awkward Black Man, Mosley overturns the stereotypes that corral black male characters and paints subtle, powerful portraits of unique individuals. In "The Good News Is," a man’s insecurity about his weight gives way to illness and a loneliness so intense that he’d do anything for a little human comfort. "Pet Fly," previously published in the New Yorker, follows a man working as a mailroom clerk—a solitary job for which he is overqualified—and the unforeseen repercussions he endures when he attempts to forge a new connection. And "Almost Alyce" chronicles failed loves, family loss, alcoholism, and a Zen approach to the art of begging that proves surprisingly effective.
Download or read book Can the Black Man Rule Himself written by Kwame A. Insaldoo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-03-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you sincerely believe in your heart that the black man is mature enough to govern himself, his institutions, and his nations? There is virtually no doubt that many black people are as brilliant as sunshine, and perform excellently when given opportunities in white institutions, but when they are left to govern themselves, the results have been chaos, confusion, destructions, excessive corruption, and sheer abuse of valuable resources meant for their populace. If you doubt these assertions, look across the periphery of black nations, and what do you see? You see civil strife in nations like the Ivory Coast, Liberia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, Sudan; you see proliferation of pandemic diseases like AIDS and malaria; You see unacceptable crime rates in nations like Jamaica, South Africa, Nigeria, and many others; you see grinding poverty, hunger, and hopelessness in nations like Haiti, Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Uganda; you see mayhem and absolute lawlessness in places like Somalia, and of course do not forget the recent carnage in Rwanda, the amputations of legs and arms, and senseless mass rapes of innocent young girls by drunken soldiers in places like Sierra Leone and Liberia. This book discusses the political situation of selected countries governed by the black man, and reveals the problems of governance, mismanagement, excessive corruption, kleptomaniac behavior, and various abuses of the ruling class, and the resulting grinding poverty, hopelessness, diseases, and civil unrest in these nations. These problems are fueling the mass exodus of essentially economic refugees from these nations to the Western countries. This book discusses how ruthless, selfish, and egomaniacal leaders are destroying their countries by sowing the seeds of anarchy, and then turning around and throwing sand in the eyes of their populace by blaming the Central Intelligence Agency and other Western intelligence networks for the coups, civil wars, assassinations, and chaos and the resulting poverty in their nations. The author concludes by suggesting that the World Bank, which holds most of the loans of these nations, can be empowered to help manage the revenues of these nations for the betterment of their entire societal development, which will benefit the vast majority of the needy, the helpless, the diseased, and those caught in the mire of grinding poverty.
Download or read book The Man from Essence written by Edward Lewis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essence magazine is the most popular, well respected, and largest circulated black women’s magazine in history. Largely unknown is the remarkable story of what it took to earn that distinction. The Man from Essence depicts with candor and insight how Edward Lewis, CEO and publisher of Essence, started a magazine with three black men who would transform the lives of millions of black American women and alter the American marketplace. Throughout Essence’s storied history, Ed Lewis remained the cool and constant presence, a quiet-talking corporate captain and business strategist who prevailed against the odds and the naysayers. He would emerge to become the last man standing—the only partner to survive the battles that raged before the magazine was sold to Time, Inc. in the largest buyout of a black-owned publication by the world’s largest publishing company. By the time Lewis did the deal with Time, the little magazine that limped from the starting gate in 1970 with a national circulation of 50,000, had grown into a powerhouse with a readership of eight million. The story of Essence is ultimately the story of American business, black style. From constant battles with a racist advertising community to hostile takeover attempts, warring partners packing heat, mass firings, and mass defections—all of which revealed inherent challenges in running a black business—the saga is as riveting as any thriller. In this engaging business memoir, Ed Lewis tells the inspiring story of how his own rise from humble South Bronx beginnings to media titan was shaped by the black women and men in his life. This in turn helped shape a magazine that has changed the face of American media.

Book excerpt: In the face of centuries of institutional and interpersonal racism, in light of the signals they receive from society, and given the choices they must make about what they want from life and how to go about getting it--how can Black men in America realize their full potential?

Cones III fashion a moving psychological and social portrait that reflects their personal views on the struggle of Black men against oppression and for self-determination. Using numerous case histories and biographical sketches of Black men who have failed and those who have prevailed, the authors describe strategies for responding to racism and entrenched power--underscoring the healing capacity of religion, family, Black consciousness movements, mentorships, educational programs, paid employment, and other positive forces. They also explore the concept of identity as it applies to being Black and male and ithe influence of Black men on American culture. Black Man Emerging is a poignant and personal discussion of the issues facing and felt by Black men in this country and an important commentary on the conflicts born of human diversity.
Download or read book Making the American Body written by Jonathan Black and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you thought the fitness craze was about being healthy, think again. Although Charles Atlas, Jack LaLanne, Jim Fixx, Jane Fonda, Richard Simmons, and Jillian Michaels might well point the way to a better body, they have done so only if their brands brought in profits. In the first book to tell the full story of the American obsession with fitness and how we got to where we are today, Jonathan Black gives us a backstage look at an industry and the people that have left an indelible mark on the American body and the consciousness it houses. Spanning the nation's fitness obsession from Atlas to Arnold, from Spinning to Zumba, and featuring an outrageous cast of characters bent on whipping us into shape while simultaneously shaping the way we view our bodies, Black tells the story of an outsized but little-examined aspect of our culture. With insights drawn from more than fifty interviews and attention to key developments in bodybuilding, aerobics, equipment, health clubs, running, sports medicine, group exercise, Pilates, and yoga, Making the American Body reveals how a focus on fitness has shaped not only our physiques but also, and more profoundly, American ideas of what "fitness" is.
