Comments about his book, Black Profiles in Courage. "In a time when positive role models for young African-Americans are sorely needed, this compilation of inspiring true stories of heroic African-Americans looks beyond the worlds of sports and entertainment to other areas in which African-Americans, through their courage and integrity, have contributed mightily to our country's history. Starting with the story of the little-known explorer Estevanico and continuing on through the eras of revolution, slavery, civil war, scientific discovery, and civil rights, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar offers countless examples of heroism both large and small. Written in an accessible, conversational tone, these exemplary stories reemphasize the integral role of African-Americans in weaving the fabric of our nation, and form an empowering legacy from which Americans of all ages and races can draw inspiration, wisdom, and pride."
Kareem Abdul - Jabar is an NBA Hall-of-Famer, a best- selling author, actor and film producer.
