Philadelphia's Black Mafia
Philadelphia's 'Black Mafia' could be used as primary reading in deviance and organized crime courses. Academicians in the fields of criminology, sociology, history, political science and African-American Studies will find the book compelling and important. This book provides the first sociological analysis to date of Philadelphia's infamous "Black Mafia" which has organized crime (with varying degrees of success) in predominantly African-American sections of the city dating back to the late 1960's. Philadelphia's 'Black Mafia': -is a first step in developing both data and sophisticated theoretical propositions germane to the ongoing study of organized crime; -uses primary source documents, including confidential law enforcement files, court transcripts and interviews; -explores the group's activities in detail, depicting some of the most notorious crimes in Philadelphia's history; -thoroughly examines the organization of the Black Mafia and the group's alliances, conspiracies and conflicts; -challenges many of the current historical and theoretical assumptions regarding organized crime.

Chasing to Find Myself
Chasing To Find Myself was created to provide others with knowledge, understanding, and the wisdom to make better decisions. I’ve witnessed a lot of people go through life without a purpose, living only to please others. Most of them react to whatever is going on around them at that time. They never plan things out, think things through, or prepare for the outcome. I’ve always heard the saying, “the thought caused it all,” but didn’t quite understand it. Along the way, most of us never played the movie all the way through to the end, we fast forward to the parts we like, and miss the scenes that’s supposed to save us. Why do we choose to act ignorant, look foolish, and not care what someone else thinks of us? Well, it’s only our character that’s being judged, ridiculed, and assassinated. We have to start thinking and acting as if we have a purpose, meaning, or a reason to overcome our problems. We have to recognize our own participation in our self-destruction in order to find the solution to rectify and discipline ourselves. We have to rise above all of the degrading, fault finding, fighting, and killings that are destroying us.
