COME ON PEOPLE  by Dr. BILL COSBY
Synopsis
Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussaint have a powerful message for families and communities as they lay out their visions for strengthening America, or for that matter the world. They address the crises of people who are stuck because of feelings of low self-esteem, abandonment, anger, fearfulness, sadness, and feelings of being used, undefended and unprotected. These feelings often impede their ability to move forward. The authors aim to help empower people make the daunting transition from victims to victors. Come On, People! is always engaging, and loaded with heart-piercing stories of the problems facing many communities.
* Illuminating and captivating stories
* Combines powerful message of personal responsibility with practical solutions
* Rides on the media coverage of Cosby's public statements and city-by-city callouts
