520 1 $a"Black Genius explores the historical roots and contemporary exemplars of black achievement in America. Interweaving past and present, Dick Russell emphasizes the importance of the traditions that nurtured black artists, scientists, intellectuals, physicians, and spiritual leaders."--BOOK JACKET. "The author's interviews with numerous remarkable individuals, the well-known and the overlooked, offer a deeply personal and inspiring message through their own unique voices."--BOOK JACKET.
520 8 $a"We see how they were encouraged by mentors and families, how the creative tradition was passed form one generation to the next. This great theme of interconnectedness is played out, for example in the relationship between Wynton Marsalis and the venerable author Albert Murray. His education of Marsalis links to not only Lois Armstrong and Duke Ellington, but also to Ralph Ellison and the artist Romare Bearden.
520 8 $aIn addition to these prominent American figures, Russell brings to light men and women whose reputations have not received due recognition, and whose courage and achievements are also a beacon to aspire towards."--BOOK JACKET.
