"Come On, People!"

Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussaint have co-signed a book deal with Thomas Nelson Publishers to release a book entitled "Come On, People!  On the Path from Victims to Victors."  The book will tackle several socio-cultural issues affecting the Black population in America.  In many ways, it will be an extension of the work Cosby has been doing for the past three years addressing critical societal flaws.  Teaming up with Poussaint, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Cosby intends to bring forth a message of hope.

"No two people in America are better poised to address this subject in any way more meaningful or more constructive than Bill Cosby and Alvin Poussaint," said David Dunham, Sr. VP of Thomas Nelson.

 I won't lie; I'm kind of excited.  Who's with me?

Tony Dungy to Publish Memoir

Tony Dungy, the first African-American to coach a winning Superbowl team, is set to write and release a memoir entitled Quiet Strength.  The work is to be cowritten with Nathan Whitaker and released in July 2007.  It will chronicle the path that lead Dungy to find his place coaching the Indianapolis Colts, highlighting both victories and disappointments. 

 "I wanted to tell each one of them that it wasn't the victory, but the journey, and the lessons learned along the journey that matter... It is my prayer that reading my story will cause people to stop and examine what's really important in life."  -Tony Dungy

 I, for one, look forward to gaining some insight into such a brilliant man's life.  What do you think?  Will you read it?
