Today, we have the first black president, and that is a major statement about the United States, it shows that more and more glass ceilings and barriers are being broken. And it's very good to see that, but I ask you how much do you know regarding the history of how America came to this place in time? I ask because recently, I read and scanned through a very interesting book. In fact, I'd like to recommend it to you, as it is some interesting reading, the name of this book is;
"Book of Black Heroes - Great Women in the Struggle" Volumes One and Two, Edited by Toyomi Igus and written by Veronica Freeman Ellis, Diane Patrick, Valerie Wilson Wesley, published by Just Us Books, Inc, New York, NY, (1991), volume one = 110 pages and volume two = 107 pages, ISBN: 0-590-46629-1.
In these volumes are listed all the famous black women in history, those names we all know such as Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, Winnie Mandela, Maya Angelou, Aretha Franklin, Florence Griffin Joyner, Oprah Winfrey, and Mae C. Jamison - and yet, this book allows us to see much more, names that made absolutely significant contributions to black American women, names that you may not have heard of but whose contributions should be known.
Every true American should read through these volumes and get to know the people who brought us so far, contributed so much, and made America so great. Whether one is a racist, or sees no color, this book reminds us of who we are and how we got here, and the importance that one single individual can make in the cause of freedom. All women should know this history, and all men should understand and get to know these historical figures.
This is a book about America, and how far we've come - it's wonderful to see. Indeed, I hope you will please consider this and email me if you too are making significant contributions to this great nation. Think on it, focus, and deliver on that promise.
