Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. CD3 - A first edition (stated with complete numberline) hardcover book SIGNED by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (last name only) and inscribed to previous owner on the half-title page in very good condition in very good dust jacket that is mylar protected. Dust jacket has some wrinkling and crease on the edges and corners, dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, wrinkling on the spine edges, light discoloration and shelf wear. Foreword by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. 9.5"x6.5", 332 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar knows the importance of heroes. As a child and young man, he admired Martin Luther King, Jackie Robinson, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, and others whose lives influenced their fellow African Americans, as well as the country as a whole. But today, according to Abdul-Jabbar, there is a scarcity of heroes for the African-American community. Black youth do not feel connected to this country or its institutions. Their ancestors were instrumental in building the nation and changing the course of American history in many significant ways - yet these black heroes remain obscure to those who need them most. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar believes that this is partly because standard historical texts have ignored, diminished, or deliberately covered up black achievement in America. In Black Profiles in Courage, he focuses on extraordinarily courageous black men and women who typified the virtues of integrity, discipline, and self-respect. Taken together, their lives form a legacy from which African Americans of all ages can draw inspiration, wisdom, and pride. Some of these courageous heroes include: *Peter Salem - the slave, blacksmith, and volunteer solider who turned the tide at Bunker Hill; *Joseph Cinque - the leader of a daring revolt on the slave ship Amistad; *Frederick Douglass - a self-taught writer and orator who escaped slavery and became one of the most famous black leaders of the nineteenth century; *Harriet Tubman - the most famous conductor of the Underground Railroad, who was also a spy and scout for the Union Army; *Lewis Latimer - a son of slaves, whose scientific work was integral to the achievements of Alexander Graham Bell, Hiram S. Maxim, and Thomas Edison. In relating the stories of these and other heroic African Americans throughout history, Black Profiles in Courage shines a bright light on the touchstones of moral character - honor, dignity, conviction, and, above all, courage. These exemplary stories are beacons in the fog of racism, and they reemphasize the fact that we are all connected. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by Author.
