| Publisher Description: This series of reflections consists of thoughts, or pebbles, both polished and rough, cast into the National Reflecting Pool. Their object is to promote healing by exposing and cleansing the wounds caused by conflict, doubt, and differences. This first book in the series explores the division of the American Mind between its instinct to dominate and its love of Liberty. It proposes a simple yet profound answer to the child's persistent asking, "Why?" -- So that we may choose. "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" PATRICK HENRY, SLAVE OWNER. . ."It's got to be the ballot or the bullet. The ballot or the bullet. If you're afraid to use an expression like that, you should get on out of the country; you should get back in the cotton patch; you should get back in the alley." MALCOM X, BLACK REVOLUTIONARY |
