REVIEW OF THE DOCUMENTARY: MR. CIVIL RIGHTS
This documentary was produced by PBS. Throughout the film, one hears beautiful music, including gospel. Several prominent intellectuals speak in the film about what Thurgood Marshall represented for the American nation, such as legal scholars Vernon Jordan and Kimberly Crewnshaw (who created and developed the famous socio-political concept of intersectionality). Thurgood Marshall studied at Lincoln University, the first African American university founded in 1854. He then continued his education at Howard University Law School. Charles H. Houston was his mentor. Houston studied law at Harvard. He influenced Marshall to become a social engineer.
BOOK REVIEW: THE WOLF
 [Le loup means in English The Wolf]
This is an important book that can save lives. The title is a metaphor symbolizing the sexual abuser. The paperback was written by a woman who herself suffered incest during her childhood. The authoress does not discuss her personal experience in the book, but her story offers hope because she managed to survive. The writeress is committed to child protection with the support of, among others, the collective of associations Prévenir et Protéger (Prevent and Protect), the Pact for Childhood of the Ministries of Health and National Education, UNICEF, and CIIVISE.
BOOK REVIEW:
BLACK IS THE JOURNEY AFRICANA THE NAME
This book was first published in French with a significant title Le Triangle et l’Hexagone, which represents and evokes the Atlantic triangle and the geographical form of France among other personal, socio-political historical facts such as the transatlantic slave trade, colonization, post-colonization, etc. The paperback was published during Black History Month, which is significant. Dr. Soumahoro offers, among other things, a brilliant analysis of what learning French meant to her as a woman of Ivorian origin.
