Synopsis

Eric V. Copage's Black Pearls is an extraordinary book of inspirational thoughts and practical advice for African-Americans. The 365 quotes that begin each day's entry range from African proverbs to wisdom from Oprah Winfrey, Malcolm X, Terry McMillan, Bill Cosby, Rosa Parks, Spike Lee, Marian Wright Edelman, Alice Walker, and Martin Luther King, Jr., among hundreds of other diverse and accomplished people of African descent. And each day's entry covers a new topic: Love, Anger, Pride, Dieting, Stress, Stereotypes, Power, and Success are just a few! From the daily inspirations, author Eric V. Copage suggests meditations and specific actions that will help readers boost their spirits -- and achieve their dreams.

From AudioFile:

"I will take a moment today . . . " to listen again to Ruby Dee read Copage's collection of meditations. Dee's voice is soothing, lulling, inspiring. As if in whispered confidence Dee delivers the words of Rosa Parks and Zora Neale Hurston. Statements of Martin Luther King, Muhammad Ali and other illustrious African-American leaders reflect quiet strength. The range and quality of the material is impressive. And Dee's melodic tones lift the collection further. The programs deserve a broad audience. R.F.W. An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award winner (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
