Why in the second decade of the 21st century would integration or segregation even be an issue for black African Americans? One very troubling reason is many present day blacks want to hold present day whites responsible for historical acts of grave mistreatment. There is no known ethnic population that is not capable and guilty of horrendous acts against fellow human beings. This book, "Black Americans In The 21st Century" should leave very little doubt in anyone's mind as to why we still have a stalemate in efforts to improve race relations. This is the book that black leaders, black spokespeople, and black organizations don't want you to read. It's written, for no other reason, than to spotlight the need to strive for racial unity. Learn how the author, in his efforts to improve race relations, has reached out for help from President Barack Obama. And the challenge to Attorney General Eric Holder to discuss the racial point of view presented in this book. Where Is Love?

Known as Mr. Excitement, he was the greatest combination of a singer and a showman the music world has ever known. He was the eleventh artist elected into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Jackie Wilson had one of the largest fan clubs of any American Artist ever, his story reads like fiction yet it's true. Some of his many hits include, "Lonely Teardrops," Higher and Higher," "Baby Workout." and "Am I The Man." Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson are two of the most widely known names in entertainment. Yet did you know that both Presley and Jackson were influenced by the singing and preforming styles of Jackie Wilson? Critics from around the world have hailed Jackie Wilson "The Black King of Rock 'n' Roll" as the purest vocalist of his generation and the most hypnotic performer ever. One must wonder why only two of these superstars are readily recognized by the masses, while one is practically forgotten. The answer, like so many things in life, is complex. The story of Jackie Wilson could easily be a fictional account of the rise and fall of a rags to riches superstar, However, in truth, this is an amazing story based on the facts of the world's greatest rock & roll performer. As unbelievable as it may be, there has never been a motion picture or television special devoted to the life and career of Jackie Wilson. Hopefully, this book, "Jackie Wilson The Black King of Rock 'n' Roll," will bring much-deserved attention to this marvelous talent and become a catalyst for more comprehensive projects in the future. In addition to being the original hardest working man in show business, Jackie was also known as the Black Elvis Presley. The first time Jackie and Elvis met was in Los Angeles, CA in 1966. Jackie was performing and Elvis and his entourage went there specifically to watch him workout. After the show Jackie came up to Elvis and said, "they call me the Black Elvis Presley." From that point on they became fast friends who loved, admired and respected one another. G. C. Cameron, former lead singer of the Spinners, recalls, "Elvis was a friend of mine. Elvis lived around the corner from me when I lived in Beverly Hills. He loved Jackie; that's where he got a lot of his stuff from. People don't realize that. Jackie and Elvis were tight as a hatband." Jackie loved Elvis and has been quoted as saying, "I took as much from him as he took from me." As the author of this book I can testify that Jackie could drive crowds into a frenzy. A friend of mine once said you could put any top three stars of the day on one end of a stage and Jackie on the other end, and at some point no one would be watching the other three. This book is American History, Black History and Music History. Get your copy today, and tell a friend or two about it. They'll be glad you did.

Product Description Oddly Colorful is a story about an odd boy named Darren, and an equally odd girl named Linda Lee Ta-Da-Look-At-Me who both agree that it's good to be odd and wear your insides on your outsides. Oddly Colorful celebrates diversity, inclusivity, the joy that comes with making new friendships and the fact that it's good to be odd. Because when we are brave and wear our insides on our outsides, we can make some pretty great friends. Also, on every page there is a hidden snail, so keep your eyes peeled! Review This is the perfect book about accepting differences (yours and others) without sounding preachy. The illustrations are great and I love the added bonus of finding the snail on each page. It's a very positive, uplifting story and one I think should be in every elementary school library! -Marnie GoldbergThis wonderful book shows the quirkiness of a child's imagination and the importance of not losing your individuality in a friendship. Oddly Colorful will make a fabulous holiday gift! I am looking forward to Brenda Baker's next creation. -Chauncey TraskThis is a GREAT book plus the illustrations are superb! And I LOVE the snails!

Tendra the turkey

‘Twas the eve before T-Day, The feast menu was set, And Tendra the turkey, Was feeling the threat, Of yams with marshmallows, And dried ears of corn. Poor Tendra the turkey, Was feeling forlorn! For she’d heard of, Past poultry, And the terrible feat, That all poultry persuasion, Eventually meet. But Gustavo the goat (Tendra's very best friend) Brainstormed a smart plan, To change Thanksgiving's end! They'd give it their all, And use sneaky-type planning... Oh please, Let this be one big, Misunderstanding!

'Twas the eve before T-Day 
The feast menu was set, 
And Tendra the turkey 
Was feeling the threat 
Of yams with marshmallows 
And dried ears of corn. 
Poor Tendra the turkey 
Was feeling forlorn! 
For she'd heard of 
Past poultry 
And the terrible feat 
That all poultry persuasion 
Eventually meet. 
But Gustavo the goat 
(Tendra's very best friend) 
Brainstormed a smart plan 
To change Thanksgiving's end! 
They'd give it their all 
And use sneaky-type planning ... 
Oh please, 
Let this be one big 
Misunderstanding!
