It is a cause of great significance, but the importance of its relevance has been weakened by the prison system, capitalism, social genocide, irresponsibility and absenteeism. Yet the power of this cause remains unmatched, unmistakable and irreplaceable with the positive effects of this cause on society being absolute and irrefutable. With that being said, I am honored and grateful to share my thoughts on this most important cause. We who call ourselves men must recommit and realign ourselves to this endeavor, for it is the only real answer to some specific societal illnesses. That cause is fatherhood, and its effect is life-saving.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49531432829201,"sku":"CIN1936767619G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51053568327953,"sku":"NIN9781936767618","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51694727889169,"sku":"CIN1936767619VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52664814567697,"sku":"NLS9781936767618","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1936767619.jpg?v=1751315656"},{"product_id":"you-re-the-most-beautiful-thing-that-happened-book-arisa-white-9780988735576","title":"You're the Most Beautiful Thing That Happened","description":"Poetry.

When Biddy Mason arrived in California, where slavery was technically illegal, she was kept captive by her owners and forced to work without pay. But when Biddy learned that she was going to be taken to a slave state, she launched a plan to win her freedom. She refused to be defined by her enslavement, and coauthors Arisa White and Laura Atkins devote much of their narrative to Biddy Mason's later life as a business and civic leader in the fledgling city of Los Angeles. Biddy Mason Speaks Up is an age-appropriate yet unflinching examination of slavery, racism, and community healing in the United States. Each chapter begins with lyrical verse and full-color illustrations that draw readers into the narrative, and is followed by visually engaging sections filled with keyword definitions, historical context, timelines, and primary sources. Throughout the book, the authors pose questions to the reader, such as “How do you see power at work in your community?”, making Biddy Mason's story all the more relatable to the present day.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50394151256337,"sku":"CIN1597144037G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51038313251089,"sku":"NIN9781597144032","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52680101527825,"sku":"NLS9781597144032","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52995768254737,"sku":"CIN1597144037VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1597144037.jpg?v=1750862771"},{"product_id":"you-re-the-most-beautiful-thing-that-happened-book-arisa-white-9780999501221","title":"You're the Most Beautiful Thing that Happened","description":"Poetry.
