If you know whence you came  there is really no limit to where you can go.\" --James Baldwin In these troubled times  wisdom often seems in short supply. But as this magnificent volume reminds us  African Americans have been blessed with a precious legacy of wisdom  gained through long hard years of struggle by those who have gone before. Wisdom is the most hallowed gift born of experience and endurance. The life-affirming guidance in The Wisdom of the Elders has been gleaned from this bountiful harvest and includes some of the most electrifying and deeply moving writings and speeches ever produced. Here are the unedited works of such luminaries as Sojourner Truth  W. E. B. DuBois  Martin Luther King Jr.  Elijah Muhammad  Lorraine Hansberry  Thurgood Marshall  Zora Neale Hurston  Adam Clayton Powell  Mary McLeod Bethune  Marcus Garvey  Barbara Jordan  Paul Robeson  Jean Toomer  and many others. The elders empowering messages and Robert Flemings interpretations offer us mother wit  cultural truths  and spiritual sustenance. These words challenge and inspire us to build on the best of our past  to insure our future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647899885621,"sku":"ByrdShop_0345394321","price":48.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780345394323.jpg?v=1781699564","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/wisdom-of-the-elders-9780345394323","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
