African Americans are beautifully different and more than the skin that they are in. We are human beings who deserve equality. The stones that we cast at each other come from Western societies' divisions and judgements that have proven problematic to our culture. Some blacks have forgotten how to see the beauty and intelligence in one another. Judgement is not the purpose of this book, rather a reminder of our history of community, the village, in order to unite in a divisive society. It will be a mirror for some to look at how they can shift to a community mindset which originates out of our African ancestry. It means not immulating those who appear to be in control of our narrative. It will be an awareness that as we are is divine. To heal we must appreciate our history, not solely the slave narrative but the African culture prior to slavery. The judgements that we project on each other comes from colorism, politics, economics, even religion fused with historical trauma. There is a rise in racism and if we do not learn to appreciate one another and our differences we will be swallowed by the divisiveness and judgements that come from Western society. We must begin to define ourselves for ourselves to better guide our children who are the future.

Fundamental, also, are the ideas that English class does not have to be dull; that everyone has something to say; that argument permeates discourse; that building skills is not only imprtant but also exciting; and that thinking is the most important tool for writing, relating, living, and contributing.

For the lawless, the Big Thicket offered the best natural hiding place in Texas. Wanda Landrey tells the tales of various outlaws and their deeds from extensive research and first hand accounts. The Sapp murders, the Kaiser Burnout and the escapades of "Red" Goleman are all covered, along with the boomtowns where riches were made and lost. In no way is this book a complete history of the outlaws and crimes of the area, but many stories are told that otherwise would have faded into the past.
