Black History Month

I posted an article on Black History Month on one of my other blogs at
http://www.revealedreflections.com/
If you are interested in this month of awareness, please read my article. I'm passionate about this topic and have been since I watched "Roots" . I would like to suggest some other books to you that I have read on this if you are interested in this topic. To begin with, I have reread Roots several times and intend to read it again. It is truly one of my favorites, and I try to reread it during Black History Month.

I would also like to suggest that you visit http://www.mahalo.com/Black_History_Month
You will not only find a lot of information there on how Black History Month began, but recipes and all sorts of great links. It's a tremendous resource and one I use often. I also work there helping to build those pages, and I refer people to Mahalo because of the information they have. It's really worth checking out.

Some other books that I would like to suggest. You might want to use the search link there on the left side of the page to search to see if they are available online at Amazon.com

Black Alice by Thom Demijohn . This book is about a elementary aged young girl from a wealth family who was abducted for ransom by some people who disguised her as a little black girl. It's a good book.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Alice_

Re-read Roots if you haven't already read it. Worth reading over and over again.
Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin. Again, this is an older book and you may want to search for it there on the Amazon.com link.

The classic Uncle Tom's Cabin is a must read. It was first publish in the 1860s, so may be available free online to read. It is and can be found here. http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/STOWE/stowe.html

Man's inhumanity to his fellow man enrages me. For Mahalo I did a page on Auschwitz http://www.mahalo.com/Auschwitz
Do check that out. That's a topic for another day and another discussion.

Until next time,

Mary
