BTW, here’s the title of the new book on “Mrs. O: The Face of Fashion Democracy” by Mary Tomer. I’m going to look for it in Borders.

You are so welcome. I knew you’d be interested. It’s a 6 parter, but very interesting and from several points of view.

As far as the encyclopedia, maybe you should try amazon.com. That’s usually my source for books or anything else.

Yes, ma’am, I love Chelly too, girl!

Thanks for the tip on that CNN special. I’ll checkit out later. You know I’m a big Don Lemon fan.

I just recalled that I think I read articles a few years ago on an encyclopedia of African American achievements. I’ll have to look for the title later.

BTW, there’s a new coffeetable book out on Michelle as a style icon. I want to pick it up. You know I love Chelly.

“If people would read and do research they would know that Black people with money arent only entertainers and have been around for quite sometime.”

So true. The history books are filled with them — blacks have been trailblazers in a number of fields unrelated to sports and entertainment. I once looked up a list of scientific patents filed by African Americans over the years, and there were too many for me to digest in one seating. There’s an abundance of erudition and innovation in our community.

I should have known you would be up in here kicking that knowledge! Thank you!!

I grew up seeing successful Blacks too. I also saw the unsuccessful. My phlisophy is ‘igonorance’ has no race, color, gender or whatever. If people would read and do research they would know that Black people with money arent only entertainers and have been around for quite sometime.
