On this day in 1924, the great writer, James Baldwin was born. He once wrote: “Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.” Sounds like a proverb to me…
"These black proverbs will make you laugh, nod in agreement, remember your grandparents’ wise sayings or simply mutter a heartfelt “amen.” Crammed with pithy advice, Lifelines sheds wisdom on just about every situation from childbirth to adultery to choosing friends. Hallelujah and pass the proverbs."
