Eric V. Copage is the author of the best-selling series of Black Pearls books and most recently of "Soul Food: Inspirational Stories for African Americans." He also runs a web site called The Greatest Migration. It's still a work in progress, but already it's got some valuable web resources links… Eric looks in different places than I do, so he finds different stuff. Check his links page now or wait a week or two when I get around to stealing some of them.
What Eric is trying to do is best explained in his own words from the home page:
Welcome to the Greatest Migration�, a community of faith and action. By faith we don't mean adherence to a single religious belief. Some of us are Christian, others Moslem or Buddhist or Jewish, but that doesn't matter. Nor are we talking about faith in a specific political ideology or economic system or membership in a particular social or civic organization. By faith we mean our shared confidence that through daily concrete, positive action we of African descent can complete the most important leg of our journey toward spiritual fulfillment, material prosperity and political empowerment by 2019. That date marks the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first African to the British colonies that would become United States.
