Breath of My Ancestors...Whisperings from the Conscience of an African in America

In this remarkable collection of prose, poetry, illustrations and documents, Ty Gray-EL petitions African-American men and women to love themselves. He challenges readers to open their minds to the possibilities of love by starting with themselves. If you start with yourself, he maintains, the rest will take care of itself. If we start loving ourselves unconditionally, we will save the world one individual at a time. Gray-EL declares that the whole world is seeking peace and that the only way it can be obtained is through love. He pleads for his readers to apply a special code of conduct that he outlines. And according to this visionary author, this application will automatically trigger a spill-over effect and like air, love will permeate everywhere.
