I haven't read your book yet. But I have read small things on Black Planet, and an article in a Chicago paper. I looked into your eyes, and saw the stance you take sitting or standing and saw a dynamic challenging the core of a Black American's definition of self. I applaud you, and the boldness it takes to make your point. -Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories
ReplyDeleteI took liberties, and advertised your work on my blogspot page today, and postdated a couple others. I have better readership on FACEBOOK under my Christian name, Gregory E. Woods. I plan to advertise you and your book presenting it in that forum for the discussions that will occur.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot of courage to speak to a People who own their tragedies guarding them like precious stones. You have my respect for addressing what my Father and his generation of activists were unable but wanted to do: move us into a higher consciousness, and engaged as a world power in the theatre of power, and change. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
