Description

Donna Marie Williams (au & ed). To tell a story well, you have to live a story well -- with courage, persistence, & faith that everything’s going to turn out all right. This collection of stories reveals universal themes, as well as the unique perspectives of African Americans. The first collection of its kind, it dispels the myth of a homogeneous Black culture. Diverse voices -- including those of Zora Neale Hurston, Dawn Turner Trice, & Frederick Douglass -- tell stories of beginnings, wisdom, patience, hard work, excellence, joy, & miracles. Stories about love, healing, & atonement are told with insight, humor, & gritty honesty. Enjoy these stories & let them guide your soul to a place where you can find solace & draw nourishment, a place that can warm & soothe you, like a bowl of black-eyed peas.
