Book Description
"Let' use a 100-year-old fruit tree as an example of our black-history tree. If you have only picked and enjoyed the fruit for the past 50 years, then you may be overlooking who planted the tree, how it has survived over the years, where it received its nourishment to make it so strong, and why, despite years of neglect, it has continued to bear such healthy fruit over the years. Our history tree is a system of strong roots, branches, flowers, and fruit that all have a story to tell. But we must not forget that our story begins with those early seeds and roots. --Glenn R. Chavis"--P 4 of cover.
