If you ask a New York Knicks fan about Charles Oakley, you better prepare to hear the love and a favorite story or two. But his individual stats weren’t remarkable, and while he helped power the Knicks to 10 consecutive playoffs, he never won a championship. So why does he hold such a special place in the minds, hearts, and memories of NBA players and fans?

GREAT BOOK FROM A NBA LEGEND!!!
Revisado: 08-01-23
If you are fan of the NBA, especially mid-80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s you will enjoy this book by NBA Legend, Charles Oakley. You can’t help to enjoy the candid and authentic account of Oakley’s funny stories about Michael Jordan and other NBA Players. After reading such account, I like and respect, Charles Oakley—THE ENFORCER even more!!! Highly recommend reading this book.

Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig’s King: A Life is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.—and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself.

New Approach to MLKJr
Revisado: 06-13-23
This is by far the greatest autobiography of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I have read many accounts of MLKJr, however this autobiography give new insights, stories and shows the humanity of MLKJr. The author did a great job. If you are interested in learning anything new about Dr. King by his and so many others’ point of view, I highly recommend this book to read.

For more than a century, the city of Atlanta has been associated with Black achievement in education, business, politics, media, and music, earning it the nickname "the Black Mecca." Atlanta's long tradition of Black education dates back to Reconstruction, and produced an elite that flourished in spite of Jim Crow, rose to leadership during the civil rights movement, and then took power in the 1970s by building a coalition between White progressives, business interests, and Black Atlantans. But Atlanta's political leadership has consistently mishandled the Black poor.

GREAT BOOK TO READ—Especially You From ATL!!!!!
Revisado: 10-12-20
Great book!! Great Book to Read! Being from Atlanta, growing up here from Maynard Jackson to Andrew Young, Bill Campbell and Shirley Franklin; witnessing ATL pre-Olympics to post-Olympics, Dr Maurice Hobson does a great job intertwine historically why Atlanta is the “city to busy to hate.”
Excellent writing. Excellent Read. Excellent historical references. After reading this book, I am STILL a proud ATLANTIAN. If you are from Atlanta, born and raised, this book is a great read! You will be proud to be from Atlanta!

Begin Again is one of the great books on James Baldwin and a powerful reckoning with America’s ongoing failure to confront the lies it tells itself about race. Just as in Baldwin’s “after times,” argues Eddie S. Glaude Jr., when white Americans met the civil rights movement’s call for truth and justice with blind rage and the murders of movement leaders, so in our moment were the Obama presidency and the birth of Black Lives Matter answered with the ascendance of Trump and the violent resurgence of white nationalism.

Melania Trump is an enigma. Regardless of your political leanings, she is fascinating - a First Lady who, in many ways, is the most modern and groundbreaking in recent history. In Free, Melania we get an insider look at Melania Trump, from her childhood in Slovenia to her days in the White House, and everything in between. We see the Trump family dynamics that Melania has had to navigate, including her strained relationship with Ivanka. Looking at Melania in the pantheon of historic First Ladies, Kate Bennett shows just how different Melania Trump is and why she matters.

Surprisedly-A Great Book to Read!
Revisado: 06-27-20
Despite me not agreeing at ALL with her husband’s policies, chaotic behavior and Presidency, this was a great book to read about First Lady Melania Trump. I learned so much about her (good things). She is elegant, very strategically smart and a graceful First Lady. After reading she indeed is the “grown-up” in their marriage and the White House. If you would like a contract to President Trump’s chaotic lifestyle, this is a great book to read about Melania Trump.

From the moment these two players took the court on opposing sides, they engaged in a fierce physical and psychological battle. Their uncommonly competitive relationship came to symbolize the most compelling rivalry in the NBA. These were the basketball epics of the 1980s - Celtics vs Lakers, East vs West, physical vs finesse, Old School vs Showtime, even white vs black. Each pushed the other to greatness - together Bird and Johnson collected eight NBA Championships and six MVP awards.

With his now-legendary store on 125th Street in Harlem, Dapper Dan pioneered high-end streetwear in the 1980s, remixing classic luxury-brand logos into his own innovative, glamorous designs. But before he reinvented haute couture, he was a hungry boy with holes in his shoes, a teen who daringly gambled drug dealers out of their money, and a young man in a prison cell who found nourishment in books. In this remarkable memoir, he tells his full story for the first time.
