Now that the holiday season is upon us, you are probably wondering what gifts to give to the Black folks you love.

Here are a few suggestions.

From Slavery to Freedom - Since its original publication in 1947, From Slavery to Freedom has stood as the definitive his-tory of African Americans. Coauthors John Hope Franklin and Alfred A. Moss, Jr., give us a vividly detailed account of the journey of African Americans from their origins in the civilizations of Africa, through their years of slavery in the New World, to the successful struggle for freedom and its aftermath in the West Indies, Latin America, and the United States.

This eighth edition has been revised to include expanded coverage of Africa; additional material in every chapter on the history and current situation of African Americans in the United States; new charts, maps, and black-and-white illustrations; and a third four-page color insert.

Carol’s Daughter Products - In 1993, Founder Lisa Price transformed her hobby and love for fragrance into a skin care business. From that love Carol’s Daughter was born. Inspired by nature, the unique line includes over 300 products for face, hair, body and home - allowing for product combinations and possibilities that are endless for every man, woman and child regardless of skin type, tone, or need.

Malcolm X - Give the gift of self empowerment through the story of the late Civil Rights leader. The book and the dvd are both must haves. Personally, I have read the book at least five times - it is that powerful - and have watched the movie even more times.

The Covenant with Black America - While on the subject of empowerment, you cannot leave this book off the list. This collection of essays is both a plea and a response to the self-assessed critical circumstances of black America today. Each section offers facts on racial disparities in the U.S.; practical suggestions on what individuals, communities, and the government can do to rectify problems; and other helpful resources. Although specifically aimed at problems and issues facing black America, this work has appeal for all readers interested in social issues that plague the nation as a whole.
