The End is
Just the Beginning: Lessons in Grieving for African Americans
by Rev. Arlene Churn, Ph.D
Every culture has unique ways of coping with devastating loss of a loved

Knowing from firsthand experience that these rituals of mourning are
essential to a survivor's emotional well-being, renowned counselor and
minister Rev. Dr. Arlene Churn offers a special book that restores
African American customs of honoring the deceased.

 Jubilee: The Emergence of
African-American Culture
by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture
A Jubilee is a celebration - but for African Americans the word has a
special meaning, more compelling by far: the day of freedom. For three
centuries of slavery, jubilee was just a dream, a hope, a prayer...But
long before Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation made it the law
of the land, Africans in the Americas had fashioned a culture uniquely
their own.
This magnificent book explored every aspect of their legacy, born in
sadness and suffering but transformed into both a rich heritage and an
influential force in shaping the world's history. Filled with evocative
illustrations, photographs, and documents from the archives of the
Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and dozens of informative
sidebars, as well as an introduction by Wynton Marsalis and essays by
such distinguished contributors as Amiri Baraka, Gail Bcukley, John Hope
Franklin, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Annette Gordon-Reed, and Gayraud S.
Wilmore, the text chronicles the true nature and impact of 300 years of
slavery on America.
But at the book's heart is the emergence of a unique African-American
culture that took root in the arid ground of slavery, nourished by
strength, courage, and determination.
