520    From the preface by Carmen Kenya Wadley: "Is it good to be
       black? To Ruby Berkley Goodwin it was ... The black she 
       writes about has nothing to do with skin color, but it 
       does have a great deal to do with self images, values, 
       spiritual strength, and most of all love. Unlike the 
       contradicting definitions of blackness we see reflected in
       today's crime statistics, movies, television, newspapers, 
       political speeches, advertisements, and sociological 
       reports, Ruby Berkley Goodwin's definition of blackness is
       simple and to the point: black is good. It's Good to be 
       Black is more than t.
