This is a manifesto on African American soul survival!

This is a must read for anyone concerned with uplifting African people in America. It details the life of an ex-con turned Presidential advisor turned crack addict...Gilbert somehow saves himself from self-destruction and establishes SIMBA, INC., the Oakland,CA-based 12-year rites-of-passage mentoring program (the nation's only) for African American youth. The co-author, Cheo Tyehimba, an award-winning journalist, weaves Gilbert's narrative with uncompromising honesty and has a brilliant flair for creative non-fiction. His upcoming novel, "Drum Sold" will be published in the spring 1999.Look for it! Although, the book is currently out-of-print, I've heard that it can still be purchased from Simba, Inc. the non-profit org. represented in "The Ghetto Solution." And all proceeds go to support the organization.
