Wisdom exudes from every page of Steven Barboza’s The African American Book of Values. Barboza uses a timely collection of “classic moral stories” to revive undervalued themes of faith, love, loyalty, self-discipline, respect, and self-esteem, among others, for a community seeking to recapture lost traditions. The list of authors, artists, sages, and cultural icons sampled in the groundbreaking volume is very impressive.
Valiant Women is a vital and engrossing attempt to correct the record and rightfully celebrate the achievements of female veterans of World War II.
