Christmas
in African-American communities is a rich and varied blend
of traditions that reach back hundreds of years. And since
1966, Kwanzaa has given us a new opportunity to reaffirm
our beliefs in sharing, thanksgiving, rejoicing and reuniting
with family and friends.
In MERRY CHRISTMAS, BABY, Paula L. Woods and Felix H. Liddell
have brought together the many voices and experiences of
Christmas and Kwanzaa in a keepsake that will delight adults
and children alike. This unique volume features stunning
full-color reproductions of African-American fine art as
well as text selections including Martin Luther King Jr.'s
sermon for peace, reminiscences by Nikki Giovanni, Langston
Hughes, Dorothy West, Nelson George and Pearl Cleage, as
well as poetry and fiction by W.E.B. Du Bois, Rita Dove,
Valerie Wilson Wesley, Sandra Kitt and others. A special
section contains mouth-watering recipes by leading chefs
and restaurateurs such as Patrick Clark, Leah Chase and
Alexander Smalls.
This one-of-a-kind treasury celebrates the entire spectrum
of joys, visions and prayers for Christmas and Kwanzaa and
reminds us all of the warmth, promise and everyday grace
that are the true heart and soul of Christmas.
