Daddy Big Bucks
ISBN: 9780970380357 / Angielski / Miękka / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Reissue: Since slavery, there has always been a Big Bucks in every Black neighborhood-desperately conniving, in some cases, to put two pennies together; owning, in others, a number of profitable businesses. He (or she) is a character cut from the same cloth as Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford, and other giants of American Industry. The great tragedy is not that Big Bucks and other Blacks like him are unknown in mainstream America, but that, to Black Americans, dazzled by lawyers and other professionals, these entrepreneurs remain invisible. Whether you are trapped by a glass ceiling, a slave to...

Bullied to Death...It Almost Happened To Me
ISBN: 9781610981675 / Angielski / Miękka / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Bullied to Death, It almost happened to me" touches on the perilous years that lead from childhood to maturity, for gay people, for gay people who are relentlessly and mercilessly bullied...simply because of who and what they are, for what they did not choose to be. It is sad I think that in the 21st century a book such as this one was needed. I have come to call homophobia the final prejudice. I have been told that a book like this may help to save lives. If it helps to save one life, to prevent another gay suicide then I have accomplished part of what I have set out to do. I am hoping also...

I had an hermetically sealed youth on a dirt road in Southwest Alabama that cut through a land grant of 40 acres bequeathed by a relative circa 1835. Its horizon was the moon and its mornings were slices of light topping loblolly pines with new days holding adventure. My parents, Helen and Willard Harris, let me open gates in pastures not plowed or planted. They let me eat whatever landed in my hands as I stretched them to the sky. You can have some of this manna. I was always blessed just a bit more than I needed. My "eyes were bigger than my stomach," my Mama would scold, or my Daddy would...

When we got close to the wax camp, Jose said he thought they would have a trap set for us, and we'd be outnumbered.

We rode into the camp, and Casus, the man I figured stole the cow, had a little fire going and had coffee ready and some tacos made. He invited us off our horses, and I noticed a .30-.30 rifle sitting pretty close to his hand." Apache Adams is somewhat of a... "In our leggings' pockets we'd each stashed guns.
