Shelton James' New Book '40 Acres and a Mule' is a Compelling Account on the Legacy of the Black Folk From the Southern Plantations

GREENVILLE, Miss. - August 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Shelton James, a second-generation master craftsman, has completed his most recent book "40 Acres and a Mule": an insightful narrative that highlights the vital role of the Black people in today's world. This read depicts the perseverance, intelligence, and wisdom of the Black community. Through these characteristics, they maintain their spot as the greatest and most powerful financial natural resources of any ethnic or cultural society in the world. Read more about their legacy in this interesting piece.

James shares, "When slaves were set free, forty acres and a mule were promised to the slaves on the plantation. The '40 acres' was the land on the plantation, while 'the mule' was the physical body that did the work. Back when Black men were slaves on forty acres of land, you could grow cotton, beans, corn, and wheat. Today, however, on forty acres of land, one could build a billion-dollar football stadium or basketball arena. The physical body code word, (the mule) represents eighty percent African American football and basketball players currently playing today. This book gives a generational consumption of the rebirth of the plantation."

Published by Fulton Books, Shelton James' book is an informative short read that digs into the work ethics of the Black people. It also recognizes their excellent skills in leadership and craftsmanship.
