Drawing from the Bible, prose and poetry from both past and contemporary writers, as well as actual love letters originally penned by prominent African-Americans, Tamara Nikuradse provides inspiration for brides and grooms, wedding party members, parents and clergy--anyone wishing to commemorate a wondrous event with the best possible words.

collection of original writings covering much ground—Art, politics, religion and spirituality, war and peace, and the author's longtime battle with uterine cancer; "Patsy Moore's writing effectively emotes feelings so strong, opinions so sharp, and ideas so vivid that it is impossible not to consider her one of the foremost political and literary thinkers of her generation. Her sharp wit and emotional musings are thoughtful and sincere, coming from a heart that is always open." (Dwayne Johnson-Cochran, writer/film director/journalist); "Patsy shares so honestly her reflections about art, society and life, that reading this book left me with a deep knowledge of the workings of her mind and soul. And as a fellow artist reading the essay 'The Short Path to Purpose', I came to feel that I, too, am deeply known." (Linda Dessau, author, "Ten Ways to Thrive as a Creative Artist"); "I have admired Patsy's passion, spirit, incredible mind and gift as a storyteller, from the moment we met. Our first conversation began as an exchange surrounding the central story of a film, but wound up being about the collective story of humanity, our world, and finding a place in it...I was bearing witness to a special spirit--open, fearless, present. I invite you to experience that same authentic voice. What it has to offer is a gift to be treasured long after you have closed this book." (Shirley Jo Finney, stage director/actor/educator)

The female blues singers of the 1920s, Gertrude "Ma" Rainey, and Bessie Smith, not only invented a musical genre, but they also became models of how African American women could become economically independent in a culture that had not previously allowed it. Both Smith and Rainey composed, arranged, and managed their own road bands. Angela Y. Davis's study emphasizes the impact that these singers, and later Billie Holiday, had on the poor and working-class communities from which they came. The artists addressed radical subjects such as physical and economic abuse, race relations, and female sexual power, including lesbianism. Ma Rainey was well known as a lover of women as well as men, and her song "Prove It on Me" describes a butch woman who dresses like a man and dates women. Blues Legacies and Black Feminism places the fluid sexuality of these women within a larger context of African American artists' attempts to subvert and recreate America.; minor research and notes contributed by Patsy Moore
