I will give another thumbs up to I know why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

But the one book I've gone back to over and over is We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families- Phil Gourevitch This is the book that inspired the movie Hotel Rwanda and I assure you it was at least 100 times better. A tough read (heavy material, but very well written); but well worth owning. I've "lost" 5 copies to friends and recommend it often.

He does a wonderful job of explaining the history of the conflict and brings humanity into what seems sheer chaos. Reminds me of how fragile Africa can be, what fear and silence can grow into; yet serves to inspire hope. Beautiful job.

Thanks for all of those other titles though. I've noted a few to pick up

The only book written in the last 10 year has to be

"Powernomics" by Dr Claude Anderson.

After I read it I couldn't sleep for 2 nights.

Dr. Anderson lays out a comprehensive plan for Africans in the West to achieve Economic independence.

Check this out!

He also gave me the first lesson in politics that ever made since.

After I read it I started thinking about trying to create a political party.

Before that:

The African Heritage Edition of the Bible

African Origin of Civilization

Destruction of Black Civilization
