A Book of Images for a Genertion

As the co-author and primary photojournalist of "Washington, D.C. 1963-2006", I am particulary humbled by the great support this book of positive images has received. This book is also a look into the life of a native Washingtonian whose self image was shaped by family but also by the work of photojournalists like Jet Magazine's Maurice Sorrell, the legendary James Van Derzee and Gordon Parks, Sr. The book also confirms the talents and commitment of it's co-author Tracey Gold Bennett who is committed to our children and the positive history they need to know about. It's history worth embracing. Thank you! Ronald G. Baker
