The story of America and African Americans is a story of hope and inspiration and unwavering courage. But it is also the story of injustice; of a country divided by law, education, and wealth; of a people whose struggles and achievements helped define their country. This is the story of the men, women, and children who toiled in the hot sun picking cotton for their masters; it’s about the America ripped in two by Jim Crow laws; it’s about the brothers and sisters of all colors who rallied against those who would dare bar a child from an education. It’s a story of discrimination and broken promises, determination and triumphs. Kadir Nelson, one of this generation’s most accomplished, award-winning artists, has created an epic yet intimate introduction to the history of America and African Americans, from colonial days through the civil rights movement. Written in the voice of an “Everywoman,” an unnamed narrator whose forebears came to this country on slave ships and who lived to cast her vote for the first African American president, heart and soul touches on some of the great transformative events and small victories of that history. This inspiring book demonstrates that in gaining their freedom and equal rights, African Americans helped our country achieve its promise of liberty and justice—the true heart and soul of our nation.

Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet, or Kindle device.Starting a small business is a dream for most people, but if you don’t know what you’re doing then you can end up with a nightmare on your hands instead. A business is like a machine, and in order for it to function properly and deliver the results you want, it needs to be programmed correctly.

This Kaizen method of running a business relies on the core value of improvement above all else, not as individuals, but as a company. If you have a small business, or are in the process of starting one, then it's smart to consider introducing the philosophy of Kaizen into your company's culture and work ethic. This book is designed to explain the fundamental principles behind Kaizen, and also provide you with step-by-step methods for implementation.
