I was thinking of someone like madam C.J Walker - she invented hair care products for Black Women. They do not have to be black there just has to be a book about them that is at least 100 pages in length. It could be a scientist, Composter or Artist.  This is for a 5th garde book report!

I don't have any titles in mind, but really your best bet is to visit the library where you will find dozens of books!  If you need help, the librarian will (or "should!) be very glad to help you find what you seek.

It's a matter of interest. I don't know if you know many black people, but if you did you would probaly find that many black woment spend a lot of time making sure their hair looks nice which can cost up into the hundreds. Swimming is for the most part a social activity at first. Meaning people don't usually swim alone especially when learnining. So, if the black women aren't in the water, you probaly won't see a whole lot black men in the water. This is not by any means the only reason... only one of the reasons you don't see black people in the water and the one I'm most familiar with.\n\nIt's a matter of health and beauty. Generally speaking too much water especially clorinated is not good for black hair. It tends to dry it out and cause breakage. It also tends to dry out the skin which means we have lotion up more.\n\nThere are tons of other reasons too. It's a matter of time and money.There a black single mothers who have to work who don't have the time or the money teach or pay for the swim lessons. Children can't go near water by themselves especially if they can't swim so....\n\nIt's a matter of cultural and exposure. Many blacks who are willing to take extra care of hair and skin, who have the money and time, generally aren't exposed to how much fun swimming is until later in life because of the above reasons.\n\nFinally, many black children grow up with more singing, dancing, football, cheerleading, church groups and other activities that aren't so good i.e. drugs etc instead of being exposed to tennis, swimming, golf (until recently), and other expensive lessons.\n\nIt has little or nothing to do with genetics.\n\nI hope this helps.

oh, poor you. I'm probably the farthest thing from being black you have ever seen, but I see this as one of the problems of black society. You are doing you best to bring yourself up, but other people just can't accept that. The problem is that there just aren't enough black role models who don't throw a ball or talk bad on rap albums about women, at least none that have any respect from the black community. Sorry I couldn't help you.

There is a book called "Barbie,Four Decades of Fashion, Fantasy, and Fun" by Marco Tosa which has a bit about the manufacturing process in it, including pictures of molds, painting, hair rooting, etc.  Also "The Story of Barbie" by Kitturah Westenhouser.\nI don't know of any websites which show the process though...

Good book.  \n\n"At the same time, she takes white paper and glues it over the inside cover of the children's books, hiding the table that showed that the books used to be used by white students and were now issued to "nigras."\n\n They were so excited because they had an opportunity to read books only allowed for whites.

You should try to find African art books in your library. Most address the topic. If you find "Art and Craft in Africa" by Laure Meyer you will find a general overview of textiles and clothing. From the Ashanti try "African Majesty" by Peter Adler and Nicholas Barnard. Also "Weaving in Africa" by Karl-Ferdinand Schaedler.

Yes it is. You'd be surprised at the recessive genes  a lot of black  folks have, so they may just look like the average person of African decent but they may have a lot of other genes from other groups dormant in their genetic code. So it is entirely possible that the child could have straight hair.

New Orleans Public Libarys are looking for more books. You send down book, but they prefer that you collect books and have a book sale and make a donations. I do not have all the deatails on this project right here, but if this intrest you, I could get them for you. For my Senior Capsotne, I interveiw a 97 year old woman from Febuary till present. Im workinging on her emiors with her. It will be a great thing for her family to have. My freind is working is a boy scout...he put togehter a cook book with practical recipes and recipes for cooking and tips for camping. He help a spagathi dinner to raise fund s to make the book and all prceeds from the sales of the book went to the local boy scout camp...hrrrmmmm...what else...put together an annual event where local churches and bussines donate turkeys for needy people during thanksgiving. Then at your school, churches or anywhere, everyopne brings in the dinner fixings. This is a great project. My school does it every year. We have a competion between our adviosrys and however collects the most gets a small breakfast. We alwasy have tons left over that we donate to the food shelf. hrmmmmm....I know my friends brother built bird houses......for some special bird....but I can't remember the deatails on that. Something thats ghreat but takes aloot of time is starting up a Habitat for Humanity chapter in yer local area. Clean up is walways great. These are all I can think of at the moment. If you need more ideas, email me at deano_vt@yahoo.com.
