Produced by Marilynda Fraser-Cunliffe, Debbie Stoddart, Diane Monico, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Sparkling Gems of Race Knowledge Worth Reading" by James T. Haley is a compendium of valuable information and wise suggestions written in the late 19th century. The work seeks to inspire and encourage individuals of African descent to pursue noble efforts, presenting insights into race issues, self-improvement, and the celebration of progress within the African American community. The opening of the book provides a foundational argument about the necessity of focusing on new aspirations rather than being mired in the memories of the past, particularly the legacy of slavery. It emphasizes the importance of developing a positive family structure, improving labor conditions, and elevating moral standards within the community. The discourse is set against the backdrop of significant events such as the Tennessee Centennial, highlighting the progress and potential of African Americans as they carve out their place in society. Haley underscores that while the memory of slavery serves as an important historical reference, it should not dominate the collective consciousness of a race striving for advancement.
