Winner of the African American Literary Show Award for Best
Non-Fiction In her first book, The Presidency in Black and White,
journalist April Ryan examined race in America through her
experience as a White House reporter. In this book, she shifts the
conversation from the White House to every home in America. At
Mama's Knee looks at race and race relations through the lessons
that mothers transmit to their children. As a single African
American mother in Baltimore, Ryan has struggled with each gut
wrenching, race related news story to find the words to convey the
right lessons to her daughters. To better understand how mothers
transfer to their children wisdom on race and race relations, she
reached out to other mothers-prominent political leaders like
Hillary Clinton and Valerie Jarrett, celebrities like Cindy
Williams, and others like Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon Martin's mother,
whose lives have been impacted by prominent race related events. At
a time when Americans still struggle to address racial division and
prejudice, their stories remind us that attitudes change from one
generation to the next and one child at a time. Features interviews
with: Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin; John Lewis,
congressman; Hillary Clinton, former First Lady, Secretary of
State, Presidential candidate; Cindy Williams, actress known for
role of Shirley on Laverne & Shirley; Cory Booker, United
States senator; Christopher Darden, OJ Simpson prosecutor; Michael
