YES, I AM, WHO I AM is the result of much reading, research, and deep reflection. Part history, part memoir, part meditation, it is ultimately a hope-filled summons to Blacks to embrace and claim their full identity as Americans. Michael Owens' critique of African American as identity is sure to provoke, and to raise further questions as the reader follows Owens' journey of discovery towards a usable Black identity for contemporary America.

  • booo wheres the attenion grabber? i wonder do you even know your history

  • HI Michael!

    It's Lynn (SOIS) from Wisconsin!

    Congrats on the book and web presence! If you ever get to Wisconsin it would be great to have you speak at my library. Looking forward to perusing the book.

    Hey Nwando!! Where are you?

  • Hi Michael, it's Nwando. Congratulations on your book and this video. I am VERY proud of you and your accomplishments and I pray that God continues to lift you up. Will definitely buy your book.

    Quick question: Do you have any posters? Would love to display this as well as your book at my library as I shall be hosting a Scholastic book-fair in May.

  • Really good! I look forward to reading the book in which I intend to buy this Sat. at the Booksigning. :o)

  • Hey Mike! Congratulations! I can't wait to read the book, and I am forwarding a copy of the link to this utube video to all the professors I work with here at UW-Whitewater. Nice shots of you, too, by the way. Give my love to Karan. God bless.

  • Bro. Owens,

    Hello my brother, prayerfully all is well with you and yours. I believe that just like a dad is proud of his children and their potential, so is our Father in the possibilities His children can realize. I believe this is for Us to know it, claim it, and do it!

    Congrats! and Be Blessed!

    BJ

  • Awesome!!! Congratulations Mike!!!
