Chimamanda Adichie Wins 'One Book, One New York' Award In USA by henryanna36: 6:54am On Mar 24, 2017 |
Congratulation to celebrity novelist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. New York City residents picked her book "Americanah" as the winner of the “One Book, One New York" program - America's biggest book club. Program Description One Book, One New York is the largest community reading program in the country, bringing together book-loving New Yorkers to read the same book at the same time. The program was launched in February 2017 with quintessential New York flair, featuring five celebrities who each urged New Yorkers to vote for one of five award-winning books. Ultimately, the votes were tallied and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah was selected as the book all New Yorkers will read together. During the coming months, the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment will present a series of free events throughout the five boroughs, with a culminating One Book, One New York event in early June. See below for a full list of upcoming events, and join in the conversation on social media using the hashtag #OneBookNY.

This's why Malcolm X said if the west is rewarding a black man that person is doing a disservice. “When we see a Black man who is constantly being praised by the Americans, begin to suspect him. When we see a Black man get honors and all sorts of decorations and the United States flatters him with fine words and phrases, immediately suspect that person. Because our experience has taught us that the Americans do not exalt to any Black man that is really working for the benefit of the Black man.”............... Malcolm X "I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. Usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. The white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. The white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him"................Malcolm X 10 Likes 2 Shares |

She usually infuses too many characters into her stories. Makes it hard for the reader to keep track of each of them. 2 Likes |

Good achievement. The director of the "half of a yellow sun" movie tried too hard to make it seem deep. it wasn't. Despite the fact that I share different views from this lady. I respect the fact that she has a strong opinion and holds on to it as she fights for the rights of women. my respect for her skyrocketed during the recent transwomen saga. she didn't twist her statement to please anybody. she doesn't deserve the hatred she gets from Nigerians. Keep going dear Amazon! 30 Likes 3 Shares |
