The Talented Ribkins by Ladee Hubbard Wins 2017 Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence In the process of researching Ladee's books, to update her content, I discovered this video, an interview with on Late NIght with Seth Meyers. Now I never watch the late night shows but I was very surprised to see a relatively obscure debut Black author being interviewed on a National TV program. She is does even have any of the bonuses that get Black folks more attention; she is not LGBT, from Africa, an ex-con, a celebrity, athlete, nor displays any outwards sign of dysfunction. She does have the a multiracial look working, but still... This defies e…

My name is Wayne Bibbs, and I would like to request a review for my science fiction-fantasy novel, "Catalyst". It is the story of Mark Layton, whose wife, Alicia was despondent over her weight gain. Alicia's misery triggered a release of energy from Mark that drove fat from Alicia's body! Together, they marketed Mark's power, but were unprepared for the challenges of new-found fortune and fame! "Catalyst" addresses fat-shaming, body positivity, child bullying, and love that is literally the stuff of miracles!

MY REPLY I want to say, in my home , I was always supported growing up, I still am now. My parents , both , came to all my poetry shows, painting shows. Uncles/aunts/friends of the family all supported me, never said ,i can't do or won't do or some negative else. I know I am being very personal or selfish, but not all creatives were told by numerous people "to be realistic" which is really not about realism but about financial prudence. In the USA this stems from the financial reality of fiscal capitalism. 99% of all artists don't find adequate financial revenue through art, common knowledge, thus the "get real" speech. And in the black populace in the usa, being…

This is interesting and shows how everything is not as it seems in book sales and rankings.

The 13th Amendment was said to have freed black folk. There were 3 elements to the the 13th Amendment. 1) Emancipation. 2) Naturalization. 3) Compensation. After we were freed, we were supposed to have been naturalized which would have made us actual citizens. Then we were to be compensated, hence the much ballyhooed 40 acres and a mule. In order to become real citizens we were to have been naturalized just like you see it on television when immigrants are naturalized and made citizens. Why was this important.? Because it would have been a crime to have imposed citizenship upon us.This would have been as big a violation as it was to impose slavery upon us. Citize…

I watched my first episode of Empire last night. This was after watching the 3.5 hour Saturday Night Live special. All told, I watched about 6 hours of TV yesterday. I promised myself I would never do that again. Even if I enjoyed every sec of what I watched I'm sure I would still feel like it was a colossal waste of time. I feel like I'll end up watching 6 hours of TV again at some point; you know how it is when you binge drink, wake up the next morning and swear you'll never do it again, but you invariably end up doing it again anyway.... So no one has done that? OK maybe it is just me, but you see my point. At any rate, Saturday Night Live would have …

LITTLE MAN, LITTLE MAN is James Baldwin's, first and only book, for children. He described it as a “celebration of the self-esteem of black children.” In the book's new introduction it is suggest that audiences at the time the book was originally published feel audiences were not ready for Baldwin's perspective, which might explain the book’s initial reception.

<<<<<< The theory goes that the road to our self-hatred had been paved long before this, and that black on black crime that was an offshoot of this mentality had actually been seeded with the actions of a tiny elite: the integrationists , and the athletes. With hindsight, we all realize that integration was not the sacred cow black leaders had hoped it would be. For some reason, integrationists, acted on the principle that our problems would be solved by living next door to Mr. Charlie and Miss Ann. Never had our leaders been so wrong. 1964. In 1964, American politics were a constitutional hodge-podge, and it is highl…

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Yvette Long, and I’m an educator, author, and Executive Director of Platinum Minds - a New Jersey based non-profit that provides leadership training to academically gifted students. In August 2019, I published my most recent book, African American History: The Untold Stories with the intent of reconnecting African American students with their histories. It has been my hope that by publishing this book, I can help students build self-esteem, discover a sense of their true identity, and improve academic outcomes by reconnecting these students with their robust history. Now, more than ever, I realize it is imperative for all st…

I just finished reading The Underground Railroad Records that were published by William Still. Wow. There are some really powerful letters in the collection. It gave me some real insight into the workings of the underground railroad. There was a lot more going on than I ever thought. Money changing hands. Violence against the "conductors". "Christian wolves" to avoid. I really enjoyed reading the slice of history. Truly brave people. I was thinking of moving on to read the slave narratives. Has anybody read these? Thoughts?

Interestingly, I did not know Trevor Noah had a book out. His book Born a Crime won two awards, for Biography/Autobiography and Debut Author. I was pleasured to see Bernice's book, The Book of Harlan win the Fiction Award. Bernice is a friend of the site and her novel The Book of Harlan is also an AALBC.com bestseller. Bernice acceptance speech was cut short and the audience, understandably, expressed dissatisfaction. Rita Dove's poetry collection won the Poetry Award. Dove was also a finalist for a national Book Award this year. Margot Lee Shetterly's Hidden Figures got an obvious boost due to the popularity of the film based upon it. Gwendolyn Hook…

<<<<<< And what about the beloved black woman? No doubt, she still represented a sizable threat, and there was no great willingness on the part of white America to insanely believe the ‘black male’ problem could be effectively neutralized or fixed by their pet projects (sterilization, mental health centers, prisons) so they had, by necessity, to adopt a more proactive approach when it came to dealing with the black woman’s complicity. Here is the essential point. And in all fairness, it must be understood that the black woman, like the black man, is a finished product of white racism, so at best, many of her reactions/responses are inst…

This is my first novel entitled, "Poetry: The story of His will vs our will" It is NOT a book of poetry, but it is a 29 Chapter novel about a young man on college struggling to put God's will above his own.

THE OTHER END OF THE STICK The social revolution for the control of the black image had a profound impact on the sistas as well. Oppression was not solely a franchise for the black male because harnessed to his very existence was the black woman. After 1865, once she was no longer needed as a breeder of slaves, she posed a definite threat. By the start of the 19th century, the black woman was no longer viewed as a “transitional” figure in the dark menace. She was the producer of it. And as the creator of this scourge, what to do about her only became a matter of timing. All things considered, white America exercised uncommon restraint regarding the black w…

A tale of self-determination in a world that refuses to listen. Bowie doesn’t intend to kill hurt his mother—he just wants to collect his social security check from her. But when she throws around words like hallucinating and tells him he’s “hearing things,” his fear is triggered, and he takes action. This event, coupled with a history of reported psychotic episodes, a gambling addiction, his sexual preference for other men, and a shimmer that whispers vile things to him, sets Bowie on a collision course with mental health professionals, the police, and the prison system. In sharp, unapologetic prose, David Jackson Ambrose explores the intersectio…
