Abstract:
Penny For Your Thoughts: Insights, Perceptions, and Reflections on the African-American Condition is a collection of articles written as Op-Ed Commentaries for the Chicago Defender, written between November of 1995 and August of 1999. The author describes his thoughts on a variety of subjects in the news, and other thoughts he simply felt the need to express. He attempts to describe how he sees the 20th century “going down”. In 126 essays of some 600 to 750 words each there is very little repetition and, although easy to read, each one challenges the mind to think.
