Just to learn how to earn money these days is not good enough. Earning money must be accompanied by the knowledge and effort necessary to accumulate and preserve wealth. John Slaughter starts at a very basic level to cover topics from money markets and mutual funds to annuities and life insurance. This book discusses the mental discipline one must accept in order to take control of money. The author states that in order to become financially successful we must work at it long and hard, day and night. One of the best ways to accumulate assets is to determine a need. Find your own personal why. Once you have developed you why, re-shape your environment to be supportive of this new mindset. Orientation towards the future begins with assets, people think and behave differently when they are accumulating assets, and the world responds to them differently as well. Mr. Slaughter continues by saying that even if one does strike it rich from a wind-fall, unless she has developed discip

In Each Night, I Die, a compelling true story, David Belton, the author, tells how he and his family coped as best they could with his confused and destructive leap into manhood until one by one, they could cope no more. One the other hand, David Belton and his family shows that an absent father, a poor working mother, neighborhoods of despair, inadequate education and destructive city streets do not have to determine the fate of every black male child in urban America. That fate lies within!

Historical

Theodore Martin Alexander, Sr., was born March 7, 1909, in Montgomery, Alabama, the third child of James and Hattie Alexander. He attended high school at Morehouse Academy in Atlanta, Georgia and graduated from Morehouse College with honors in 1931, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration. He was honored by Morehouse College with an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 1970.

Mr. Alexander has been a leader in the Atlanta insurance industry and community activities for more than 50 years. In addition to founding his own insurance agency in 1931, he established the Southeastern Fidelity Fire and Casualty Company in 1951 and served as Executive Vice President and Managing Officer until the company was prematurely sold in 1967. Southeastern Fidelity Company provided more than $50,000,000 of property protection for its client groups, and was the first Black-owned multi-line insurance company.

Recognizing the absence of Black representation in electoral politics in both the City of Atlanta and the State of Georgia for more than 90 years, Mr. Alexander embarked upon an ambitious effort and ran for the office of City Alderman in 1957 and for the State Senate in 1961. Although unsuccessful in each of these bids, his actions provided the motivation for other Blacks to become involved in seeking election of public office, thus paving the foundation for not only the first elected Mayor of the City of Atlanta, but also for numerous other elected positions throughout the South.

Federal Plantation shows that employment discrimination against blacks and other minorities within the Federal Government is at an all time high! Wallace describes how working within the federal sector today is synonymous with working on the "big plantation." This book is a firsthand account of covert discriminatory employment practices within many agencies of the Federal government including, Congress, Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, the FBI, branches of the military, and several others. Numerous examples of how some managers "work" the system to avoid recognizing, promoting and fairly compensating blacks are cited. Wallace also provides a "survival guide for Black Americans" that spells out what can be done to counter the assault against diversity and affirmative action.
