  2. Try Huria Search you might get lucky there. It queries over 300 black websites maybe one of the newspapers may have written an article on the type of business you need. There are a few sites that provide lists of Black owned business but I've already went through those most of the business crafts, clothing, oils and the like. I've been talking to many more people lately who are serious about doing business with Black owned businesses. Indeed, one Brother I spoke with on Friday has written a book on the subject. I'll share it when I get the information. But it feels like supporting Black business is becoming part of the zeitgeist, and important part of Black social consciousness. I actually know people who refuse to do business with Amazon! That is serious stuff and if enough people do the same we can have a real impact.

  3. I used to used the free version Grammarly, but it got in my way. Cynique may feel I should go back to using it, but the additional overhead was not worth it to me. Is the grammar checker that comes with your word process in adequate? As far as checking for plagiarism I was not aware that grammarly did that. Maybe you get that feature with the fee based version. When I feel the need to check for plagiarism I just run a Google search against a string of the questionable text in double quotes. But if you are a teacher that needs to check an entire class' papers there is of course software available but I can't recommend any.

  4. I hear you Mel and thanks. But there are so many new books that I am made aware of lack of knowledge of this book will not make a difference. Still it is surprising was was not made aware of it prepublication. I have no interest in reaching out to the publisher, they obviously did not put a big marketing push behind the book. I suspect they are relying on the author's platform--he did win a National Book Award. Who knows. Again, I was just surprised I have not heard about the book. I actually did share info about this book on social media in an effort to see if this book was new to anyone else and wondering if it might attract attention, but organic reach on social media for brands is largely dead, so there was very was engagement.

  5. POWER! "It's wrong to do it in the streets, It's wrong to do it in a tweet, You cannot do it on the field .. You cannot do it if you've kneeled. And don't do it if you're rich, You ungrateful sonofabitch. Because there's one things that's a fact. You cannot protest if you're black" =
