Book Description
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When life put Marques IQ Golden in a coma, he awoke tougher and more determined than ever. He may not have had a penny to his name, and his academic career was seemingly ruined, but he had his friends, his intellectual abilities and his streets smarts. That was enough to create a street empire full of power and riches. But what goes up, must come down. And when life gave Q and his CND crew, a business crippling drought; Q came up with an idea. Why sell drugs when you can make them? And not just any drug? The PERFECT drug. And thus volume 2 begins as Spring blooms in 1999 and Q gambles on an idea as ambitious as any he's ever had. Flying higher and closer to the sun, the stakes continue to increase in a world where what goes up, must come down and all that glitters is not gold.

Benjamin Banneker and Us
Author: Rachel Jamison Webster
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
ISBN: 1250827299
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
A family reunion gives way to an unforgettable genealogical quest as relatives reconnect across lines of color, culture, and time, putting the past into urgent conversation with the present. In 1791, Thomas Jefferson hired a Black man to help survey Washington, DC. That man was Benjamin Banneker, an African American mathematician, a writer of almanacs, and one of the greatest astronomers of his generation. Banneker then wrote what would become a famous letter to Jefferson, imploring the new president to examine his hypocrisy, as someone who claimed to love liberty yet was an enslaver. More than two centuries later, Rachel Jamison Webster, an ostensibly white woman, learns that this groundbreaking Black forefather is also her distant relative. Acting as a storyteller, Webster draws on oral history and conversations with her DNA cousins to imagine the lives of their shared ancestors across eleven generations, among them Banneker’s grandparents, an interracial couple who broke the law to marry when America was still a conglomerate of colonies under British rule. These stories shed light on the legal construction of race and display the brilliance and resistance of early African Americans in the face of increasingly unjust laws, some of which are still in effect in the present day.
