Black Author Showcase

Agents of Literary Change

It's the end of the year and a lot of us barely have time to breath, much less read. But the tried and true read-a-holics among us always find a moment to get your book on.

Since I asked the question, I'll start - This month I'm reading Dark Matter: Reading the Bones edited by Sheree R. Thomas.

I am reading "flat-footed truths, Telling Black Women's Lives", an anthology edited by Patricia Bell-Scott with Juanita Johnson-Bailey. Contributors include bell hooks, Marita Golden, Alice Walker, Audre Lorde, Pearl Cleague and others. Photos, poetry and prose. The writing is absolutely beautiful. Recommend enthusiastically.

Here's one I am constantly reading (my own autobiography):


Give this book to someone in need!

Psychological War: The Battles of a Young BlackMan, my very powerful autobiography, gives brutally honest insight into the mental wars of young people - using myself as the number one example! Beginning with an identity crisis, child neglect, children exploring sexual curiousity, street violence, sexual addictions, prison tragedy, into my struggle to redeem my life with the teachings of The Nation of Islam - travel with me through the obstacles and witness my spiritual rise from death to life. By using my experiences as a roadmap, young people will save themselves from a death-lifestyle.

To order, go to www.kevin6x.com; available in paperback and hardback. With your support, I will be blessed to travel into juvenile halls and prisons, as I have been given a mission to Elevate Women and Educate Children.

Thank you for your support! Our children are the last hope for the coming of Allah's Kingdom!

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…
