Affirmative Action (ePub)

This is an honest gut wrenching narrative of transparent truths. A journey written from a personal pen; simple, careful and urgent. An emergence of refreshing memories that from a non-radial tale tells the kernel of affi rmative action; the power of true access to education in a swelling chorus of truths and experiences. We live in the same cities, but we dont talk to each other..most folks dont have a clue what the real journey has been for some blacks. Dr. Patricia Ferdinand succeeds in sharing with a small island naivety that is simply refreshing.

This book highlights an amazing journey that is shared by the Caribbean matriarchs who I cherish and learn from. I see how their presence and choices serve as a model for our children and grandchildren. I see how invaluable having such a strong, focused mother was to my development and education both within the walls of a school and externally in how I have come to approach my professional life.
