Reflections in the Dark Room: The Black Essays

In Reflections in the Dark Room: The Black Essays, author Richard Kenyada examines the rich mosaic of contemporary African American culture – from politics, race and war, to love, self-reliance and personal responsibility.  With the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States, Kenyada’s latest work signals both a wake-up call and a challenge to ante up.  This book serves as a celebration of how far we have come, and a detailed map charting how far we have yet to go.  But even of greater significance is the discovery that we have come one step closer to choosing the black doll… and being proud of our choice.
