The Future of the American Negro
Written by: Booker T. Washington
Read by: Andrew L. Barnes
Synopsis
The
Future of the American Negro was written to put more definite and
permanent form the ideas regarding the condition of the negro.
Booker T. Washington (1856-1915), a prominent leader, educator and
author, expresses arguments through sound reason in an impassioned plea
to resolve the problems of increased crime, ignorance, discrimination
and debilitating debt crippling the black race. In the midst of these
problems, Booker provides a remedy, which in many respects is still
relevant to the future of Blacks in America.
Listeners will develop a greater understanding of the horrific outcomes
of slavery, the colossal errors of the reconstruction period, the
extreme levels of poverty and ignorance, the failures of government,
and the instability of industry in the south. In the midst of these
problems, Booker provides a remedy, which in many respects is still
relevant to the future of the American Negro.

Life of Lincoln
Written by: John Hugh Bowers
Read by: Andrew L. Barnes
Synopsis
A
biography of the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, as written by John
Hugh Bowers in 1922. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was the sixteenth
President of the United States, serving from 1861 until his
assassination. As an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in
the United States, Lincoln won the Republican Party nomination in 1860
and was elected president later that year. During his term, he helped
preserve the United States by leading the defeat of the secessionist
Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He introduced
measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his
Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the
Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. He closely supervised
the victorious war effort, especially the selection of top generals,
including Ulysses S. Grant. Historians have concluded that he handled
the factions of the Republican Party well, bringing leaders of each
faction into his cabinet and forcing them to cooperate. Lincoln
successfully defused a war scare with the United Kingdom in 1861.

The Call to Shakabaz
Written by: Amy Wachspress
Read by: Andrew L. Barnes and Adilah Barnes
Synopsis
A highly original fantasy adventure, The Call to Shakabaz sidesteps
many of the usual conventions of the genre and offers instead unusual
and creative resolutions to a variety of sticky situations. When
the recently orphaned Goodacre children are transported to the land of
Faracadar, they must discover and develop their special talents if they
hope to retrieve the powerful Staff of Shakabaz and rescue the land
from the malevolent
enchanter Sissrath. Set in an African American cultural context, with
all brown characters, this story offers a refreshingly different
perspective on adventuring in make-believe lands.
The Call to Shakabaz
challenges readers of all ages to reconsider the nature of violence
while it demonstrates the fundamental principles of nonviolence as
practiced by Dr. King and Gandhi. When the dust clears, this book will
inspire readers to think and think again. In the meantime, it is way
too much fun! A rollicking good read for the whole family!
