Making a Gangsta
Author: Larry Johnson
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662416237
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
Slow L was marked by death at a young age when his stepfather is murdered and mother shot down in front of him. Eight years passed and still trying to outdistance this tragedy but haunted by it every step of the way. Lack of trust made him jump off the porch a little sooner than most kids. Once he learned the Milwaukee streets had real people that acted in the form of animals and orangutans among the living, he knew then he needed to adapt to the Mil-jungle, or get peeled, or eaten alive. Nobody was to be trusted—not a priest, not the police, not his childhood friends, or closest relatives. They made him a gangsta with no explanation as to why.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
Only the foolish believe that the Ku Klux Klan is dead in American politics. By the mid-1990's, under the powerful and far-reaching leadership of Ezra Theodore Krantz, the Ku Klux Klan reconstructs its hierarchy to attain loftier goals. By abandoning mere lynchings, the torching of Black churches, and burning crosses on lawns in the dead of night, these powerful men have set their sights on the near complete infiltration of American Government and the White House. Only then can they place a halt to undesirable immigration and detestable race mixing between Whites and Blacks. Incumbent Mississippi Governor Judson Martin, the KKK's best-kept secret, prepares to enter the 1996 Presidential Race with the backing of beguiled Blacks who see him as an honorable man. However, Ezra T. Krantz is forced to reveal unsavory facts concerning the governor's daughter. Governor Martin is overwhelmed by shock and utter revulsion when Krantz reveals that his daughter, Dr. Sabrina Martin, has taken an African American attorney as her lover in Atlanta, Georgia. While reeling in the wake of this unwelcome news, Ezra T. Krantz twists the knife on the burning hatred now raging in the governor's heart when he attests that Dr. Sabrina Martin's conception is the result of her missing mother's affair with yet another Black man. On Big Bear Mountain, in the Rockies of Montana, with the impending lunar eclipse upon a place that seems a bit too close to the moon, adversaries will clash in mortal combat between good and evil.

Siege of Knox-Vegas
Author: The Bruahs
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1514468107
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
This is the story of a group of ordinary young people who matriculated on the campus a typical historically Black college that is situated in the heart of an average poverty stricken neighborhood. These youngsters hail from the urban core of several American cities where crime, drugs and violence is common. However, the accomplishments of these students would be uncommon, above average and extraordinary. They united to achieve success socially, financially, spiritually on an astonishing level. There are many life lessons, humorous anecdotes, entertaining episodes and shameful acts in this version of accounts that took place in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. The authors hope that the reader would draw the following message from the time invested in combing through the pages of this book: The youth (then and now) are capable of accomplishing greatness, when they focus their energy and collectively strive toward a common interest. There have been many stories embellished in barbershop, books written and fictionalized, movies and videos documenting the escapades of delinquent youth brought up in urban areas across America. The intent of this work is not intended to glamorize the dope game or to write another inner-city drug kingpin saga. The market is already saturated with that story. Instead, The Siege endeavors to address the unique situations, challenges and opportunities that young adults face when leaving their home town to “attend college.” More specifically, attending a historically black college or university in the southern United States. However, mentioning the “students” involvement with drugs, violence, poverty, gun-play, self-preservation, greed, death and incarceration is unavoidable. The story cannot be properly conveyed without incorporating these issues that plague African American communities across the nation and abroad. So prepare yourself to be exposed to an unadulterated excerpt of what a group of ordinary young people experienced in becoming Men. The authors hope and pray that you enjoy. The interpretation of these events that are based on truth.
