When Blackness was Golden - Observations from the front line.

"When Blackness Was Golden", thrusts readers into an era when African American culture, pride, and love ruled supreme. In this chronicle of his coming of age in Bronzeville, Pemon Rami portrays a caring, neighborly Chicago many have never known. The camaraderie and kinship he developed in the Stateway Gardens Housing Projects laid the foundation for his life's work. One of the architects of the Black Arts movement, Pemon innately committed to protest social and political injustices. To quote film director and producer Mr. Robert Townsend from the book forward "As you read this book, Mr. Rami gives you a front-row seat as he brushes shoulders with a Who's Who of literary, political, and Civil Rights activists who have changed the course of history for Black people in this country."Dimensions: 5.5 x 8.5"Materials: Softcover book Pemon Rami(Brownsville/Hyde Park) Pemon Rami is an author, adjunct professor at Loyola University, international film producer, director, member of the Boar
