Book Description
"Dad, what happened?" "Why are they shooting?" "What is this vigil for?" The shootings keep coming, and so do Jeremiah's questions. Dad doesn't have easy answers, but that doesn't mean he won't talk about it--or that he won't act. But what if Jeremiah doesn't want to talk anymore? None of it makes sense, and he's just a kid. Even if he wants to believe in a better world, is there anything he can do about it? Inspired by real-life events, this honest, intimate look at one family's response to racism and gun violence includes a discussion guide created by the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Kentucky, a multicultural center and museum committed to promoting respect, hope, and understanding.

There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyonce
Author: Morgan Parker
Publisher: Tin House Books
ISBN: 1941040543
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
A TIME Magazine Best Paperback of 2017 One of Oprah Magazine's "Ten Best Books of 2017" "This singular poetry collection is a dynamic meditation on the experience of, and societal narratives surrounding, contemporary black womanhood. . . . These exquisite poems defy categorization." —The New Yorker The only thing more beautiful than Beyoncé is God, and God is a black woman sipping rosé and drawing a lavender bath, texting her mom, belly-laughing in the therapist’s office, feeling unloved, being on display, daring to survive. Morgan Parker stands at the intersections of vulnerability and performance, of desire and disgust, of tragedy and excellence. Unrelentingly feminist, tender, ruthless, and sequined, these poems are an altar to the complexities of black American womanhood in an age of non-indictments and deja vu, and a time of wars over bodies and power. These poems celebrate and mourn. They are a chorus chanting: You’re gonna give us the love we need.

The World Black, Beautiful, and Beast
Author: C. I. Aki
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781953932037
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
Inside, these poems will take you to a place, an edge, in the midst of the horrors of racial inequity, re George Floyd, and the ensuing attempts of disestablishing the strongholds of racial bias, discrimination, and injustice. C.I. Aki will take you there, show it to you, urge change for the world, then ask, "Is this the sole purpose of Black poetry?" And, reminding you that he is also the multitudes of the "I am," we are given the complete picture of the poet, his job, and his work. Smattered about are poems of love, poems of hope, poems of questioning with some honest, innovative answers too, and we are forced to sit, and think, and listen to the inexorable genius unveiling itself within these words. These poems are monuments, an unrelenting achievement for the modern Black poet's soul. The world is filled with beasts, but they cannot shroud entirely its beauty.

Black and Beautiful
Author: Peter Arnold
Publisher: Bruno Gmuender
ISBN: 9783867872355
Category : Black people in art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The extensively reworked photographs by Peter Arnold give a whole new meaning to the expression 'high gloss'. His dark skinned models are staged in a brilliant way, immaculate and bathed in light. The strong aesthetic of their athletic bodies and their self-confident appearance are impossible to resist. In Black and Beautiful Arnold creates sculptures of muscles and skin - and pretty often he puts a focus on the thoroughly impressive equipment of his models.
