Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes you on my journey of becoming a car dealer. It offers a bird's-eye view of the automobile industry. It evaluates the conditions under which I and many other Black car dealers operate in order to determine why so many of us failed. In 2005 there were 751 new car franchise-rooftops1 owned by African Americans. As of December 2017, that number declined drastically to 270, out of a total of 19,284 American new car franchise-rooftops. In 2005, black car dealers accumulated billions of dollars in wealth; unfortunately, they lost most of it when the recession ended in 2009. Yet African Americans continue to purchase new cars in record numbers. African Americans purchased 1,105,931 new cars in 2015, with gross revenue of $35,357,792,000, most of which went to white car dealers. With an annual growth rate of 9.4%, it's estimated that African Americans will purchase over 1.5 Million New Cars in 2020, with gross reveue surpassing $50 Billion!With African Americans owning only 1.4% of car dealerships nationwide, can we afford to give $50 Billion dollars of our hard-earned income every freaking year to folks who don't look like us? $50 Billion dollars circulating within the African American community can go a long way and will do wonders for African Americans! It will create jobs with fair incomes and will allow Blacks to purchase houses that appreciate in value instead of simply buying cars that depreciate. Ultimately, it will allow Blacks to build wealth. After all, it's our damn money! In September of 1992, at the age of 36, after a 10-year career as a Business Consultant for Ford Motor Company and a Ford Dealer Trainee, I joined the ranks of the Black car dealers in America and became the proud owner of a Lincoln Mercury franchise in St. Louis, Missouri. Five years later, like the majority of Black car dealers, I lost my franchise.Dealing chronicles the emotional highs and lows I experienced both before and after becoming a Black car dealer.

Book excerpt: My Amazing Journey chronicles the life of the author, a woman born with Muscular Dystrophy. It is a series of vignettes detailing circumstances and situations in the life of Ms. Donna Lamberti. During the course of the manuscript, the author, however, does not describe the sadness of being a disabled child and never dwells on the disease as the cause of difficulties in her life. Instead, the book is incredibly uplifting and positive, while at the same time extremely honest. The story begins with childhood memories, including Ms. Lamberti's early education at the Crippled Children's Center, and goes on to describe how she overcame obstacles to pursue a Bachelor's degree and later a Master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. It continues to detail her career as a Leisure Counselor working with others with disabilities. There is even a bit of romance as the story progresses. My Amazing Journey touches upon Ms. Lamberti's contributions to the community, her accomplishments on the State level, and her participation in the Victory Awards in Washington, D.C. Finally, the manuscript concludes by describing her illness and how she overcame the odds with courage and strength. Even today she challenges herself and her world while using a stretcher for mobility and a ventilator to breathe.

Book excerpt: In this memoir, Holland E. Bynam, a retired US Army colonel and educational administrator, looks back at a life defined by beating the odds. In a series of vignettes, he recalls both those who helped him and those who failed to assist him in making his world and that of those around him richer. While his approach to telling his story may be unconventional at times he answers the questions of fictional interviewers to enliven his story it allows him to convey a full orchard of anecdotes, insights, truths, ideals, and present day concerns. Bynam's story is from the soul of a gifted man. It looks back at his early, military, and later educational experiences; and to his efforts in changing lives for the better. He also shares his thoughts on topics such as educational reform, the essence of Christianity, the deadliest sins, tips for success, the struggle in the Middle East, and more. An Incredible Journey shares excitement, insights, and secrets; seeks to energize you to chase your own dreams; and encourages debates and conversations at numerous venues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the lives of Diane Nash, Stokely Carmichael, Bob Moses, Bob Zellner, Julian Bond, Marion Barry, John Lewis, and their contemporaries, The Shadows of Youth provides a carefully woven group biography of the activists who—under the banner of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee—challenged the way Americans think about civil rights, politics, and moral obligation in an unjust democracy. A wealth of original sources and oral interviews allows the historian Andrew B. Lewis to recover the sweeping narrative of the civil rights movement, from its origins in the youth culture of the 1950s to the near present. The teenagers who spontaneously launched sit-ins across the South in the summer of 1960 became the SNCC activists and veterans without whom the civil rights movement could not have succeeded. The Shadows of Youth replaces a story centered on the achievements of Martin Luther King Jr. with one that unearths the cultural currents that turned a disparate group of young adults into, in Nash's term, skilled freedom fighters. Their dedication to radical democratic possibility was transformative. In the trajectory of their lives, from teenager to adult, is visible the entire arc of the most decisive era of the American civil rights movement, and The Shadows of Youth for the first time establishes the centrality of their achievement in the movement's accomplishments.
