A Golden Bounty of Books: To Heal the Soul, To Encourage; Seed Wisdom, To Guide, Sooth The Spirit and To Give Honor to Black People & Humanity.
This book list is offered by disabled Author-Writer-Journalist Brother Tracy Gibson and was compiled with the help of many people including librarians, book store clerks, friends, relatives and associates. It is offered especially to the Black community with love & respect, but to others who would listen & learn as well. It is strongly suggested that Black parents take their children away from the criminal-minded Rap Culture, and the corrupting influences of tv and Movies long enough for them to learn about their past and how best to step forward for our people……. Some especially good books are highlighted in Yellow….Our youth definitely need to read more!!!....
