Not everything is what it seems.Drovers Gap, population 703, appears to the tourists passing through as one more sleepy Appalachian village, just off the interstate, on the way to someplace spectacular and important.

"What's goin' down? I know you don't expect a seventy-five year old man to talk all that talk. . . " A strong and much needed book addressing black youth today, Preaching for Black Self-Esteem is geared to a generation of black men and women who can--suggests the authors--proudly face issues such as caste systems, one's own physical characteristics, feelings of ambivalence and inferiority, and even 'buppies'--economically upwardly mobile Blacks. A very powerful collection of sermons for a generation of Blacks coming of age after the Civil Rights era.
