 "SOLES FOR SALE" THE BOOK LABELED AS A "MUST READ" BY CHICAGO SCHOOLS, DRUG COUNSELORS, PROFESSORS, HIP HOP HEADS, SNEAKERHEADS, CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS, AND MORE

Chicago, IL  -- Dr. Thomas Kenemore, Ph.D. is a professor and just like many other educators, he understands the significance of "Soles For Sale" and has implemented the book into a talking piece for his Social Work class at Loyola University. Joined by two Chicago Public Schools and Olive Harvey Community College, Soles For Sale is starting to find its way into the minds of the youth who need a book like this. So often the stories of the inner city are not told. This book, which falls under the genre, personal history, needs to be a part of the fabric of our education system and society.

Although Soles For Sale is independently published and sold, Mora Spicer II and Hassahn Liggins are truly changing the paradigm with the content within their critically acclaimed book. The only thing more impactful than the book itself is how they have cut out the middle man by going straight to the schools they want to impact. The faculty and students have responded accordingly to the book and their efforts.

Written by Mora Spicer II and Hassahn Liggins, Soles for Sale gives a unique yet detailed history of a phenomenon that hit the Black community with a devastating blow in the middle to late 1980's and continued through the end of the twentieth century. Effects of crack cocaine have continued well into the twenty first century. This book details most, if not all, of the "players" or contributors to the devastation, which nearly generated a knockout blow to the Black community.
