Product Description
Product Description
Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussaint have a powerful message for families and communities as they lay out their visions for strengthening America, or for that matter the world. They address the crises of people who are stuck because of feelings of low self-esteem, abandonment, anger, fear, sadness, and feelings of being used, undefended and unprotected. These issues often impede their ability to move forward. The author's aim is to help empower people to make the daunting transition from victims to victors. "Come On, People!" is always engaging and is loaded with heart- breaking stories of the problems facing many communities.
About the Author
Bill Cosby is one of the most influential performers of the last half century. Coming from a poor Philadelphia neighborhood, he rose to dominate America's airwaves through shows like I Spy and The Cosby Show; become the all-time bestselling comedian on records; and author several blockbuster books, including Fatherhood, which became the U.S. fastest-selling hardcover book of all time and spending 54 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list. A crusader throughout his career, his entertainment success is complemented by involvement with a host of charitable, education, and civil rights organisations. Alvin F. Poussaint, M.D., grew up in a family of eight children in East Harlem, New York. He is a veteran of the civil rights movement, serving as Southern Field Director of the Medical Committee for Human Rights in Jackson, Mississippi, in the 1960s. He is currently a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. In addition to writing dozens of articles for lay and professional publications, Dr. Poussaint is coauthor of two books, Raising Black Children and Lay My Burden Down. He closely collaborated with Bill Cosby on The Cosby Show and on several of his bestselling books.
