TRIBUTE TO A TRIBUTE: A review of LOVING BLACK WOMEN
by Mukulla Godwin:
Praises are due to Larry Ukali Johnson-Redd's newest literary accomplishment, "Loving Black Women." For as an African woman, I am proud of this brother's ability to give explanations as to what
removal of black love has inevitably led to, that being self-hate which in turn creates loathing, rejection and violence towards those most like the self.
Mr. Johnson-Redd's book should be a must read for those who ask the question, "Why is there so much violence in the Black community?" Mr. Johnson is a true teacher, and instructor of Black life, Black Love. He answers the "question" of the causes of self-destructive violence very well when he states in several of his poems/spoken word selections that there is such a pressing need to reclaim love for each other, to heal, to acknowledge our identity as an African people and for the Black man to pay tribute to the Black woman so that unity of mind, spirit and purpose can be achieved, our very survival depends on this.
Mr. Johnson-Redd highlights many positive things in his very flowing, easy to read style, which facilitates the comprehension of several essential concepts. These include the need for the African psyche to become whole, that is to eliminate the fragmentation between the male/female psyche caused by the malevolent influence of White Supremacy. He states that: ".... this white American racism is the most dangerous force of evil in the world." Yet Mr. Johnson-Redd does not dwell on this premise. Instead, he formulates insights for survival. He years for unity within the African Diaspora, and equates love as the foundation for renewing the Black self, family and nation. His suggestion that there be an 8th and 9th All African People's Congress should be heeded.
As an African woman, I can only thank Mr. Johnson-Redd for his respect for and praises to the Black woman. In his expressions of consciousness and gratitude are found hope that we are indeed a people "who can overcome all obstacles."

Loving Black Women Interview with Larry Ukali Johnson-Redd By Books Club | Published Today | Book Review Rudy: I've just completed your new book Loving Black Women (2006). It's packed full with a lot of heavy ideas and beautiful women. You have numerous photos of beautiful sisters, old and young ones, some big-legged gorgeous sisters. I wish you had put their names in captions. I get the feeling from the content of this book; you don't know any ugly sisters. Or you just don't care to consider them. Is that right?
Ukali: Hello Rudy. To answer your question I have about 200 female cousins in the San Francisco Bay Area, L.A., and Little Rock as well as across the country in my estimate. I contacted about 40 female relatives and those in the book are the responders. Thank you for the compliments for my mom, aunts, sisters, cousins, and nieces. Their names or relationship appear on the acknowledgment page in the front of the book.
