Her book, <em>Shining Legacy</em>, commendably attempts to fulfill that need. In well-researched poems and tales, in clear and idiomatic language, she has celebrated role models ranging from Toussaint L'Ouverture to Paul Robeson, from Harriet Tubman to Fannie Lou Hamer. Aimed at a young audience, it still could benefit older readers. </p><p>--- <strong>Sterling A. Brown, </strong> Poet Laureate, Professor Emeritus, Howard University (1983)</p><p><br></p><p>New Creativity from a new author. Sounding an alarm for Unity, Love, Power! Read and be renewed. Welcome Nkechi to the circle of poets.</p><p>-- <strong>Sonia Sanchez</strong>, Author, Activist (1983)</p><p><br></p><p>Sister Nkechi has rendered us an excellent service by producing this valuable book for our children. During my many years of publishing, I've come across few books that speak to the needed roots of our people. These storypoems and tales are a necessity for those young people who are seriously trying to locate an anchor for their tomorrows.</p><p>-- <strong>Haki R. Madhubuti, </strong> Author, Publisher, Third World Press (1983) </p><br>
