Fascinating. . . . Graham] has made a major contribution both to African-American studies and the larger American picture. --New York Times

Debutante cotillions. Million-dollar homes. Summers in Martha's Vineyard. Membership in the Links, Jack & Jill, Deltas, Boule, and AKAs. An obsession with the right schools, families, social clubs, and skin complexion. This is the world of the black upper class and the focus of the first book written about the black elite by a member of this hard-to-penetrate group.

Author and TV commentator Lawrence Otis Graham, one of the nation's most prominent spokesmen on race and class, spent six years interviewing the wealthiest black families in America. He includes historical photos of a people that made their first millions in the 1870s. Graham tells who's in and who's not in the group today with separate chapters on the elite in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago, Detroit, Memphis, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Nashville, and New Orleans. A new Introduction explains the controversy that the book elicited from both the black and white communities.

Excellent Book
Format: Kindle
This book helps with many things including installing the confidence that God speaks to us in dreams and visions. It also helps us learn to understand what God is saying via practical interpretation skills that develop over time. A very good book.

Jane is a greta teacher
Format: Kindle
I learned a lot. It was clear, informative and the questions at the end were great application questions. I appreciate Jane using personal dreams and walking through how the interpretation happened.

Dream Interpretation Made Clear
Format: Kindle
This is a great book for someone who is a beginner at learning how to interpret dreams as well as for someone who wants to better understand how to interpret their dreams. For me it is the latter, wanting to better understand how to interpret my dreams. I have known that my dreams are God's way of speaking to me about my life but the question has been was I coming to right interpretation or insight that I needed. Jane Hamon gives full explanations and illustrations of the steps that are needed to clearly and correctly interpret what God is saying to the individual. Some of the steps I have been doing but now I know what others steps I need to take in order to have a clearer understanding. Now I will feel better about my dreams. Thank you Jane Hamon.
