Filled with the sights, sounds, and smells that characterize authentic L.A., Lawrence C. Ross, Jr.’s irresistible debut novel charts one man’s journey of self discovery.

The Ways of Black Folks by Lawrence C. Ross, Jr.

Dafina Books, 2004

The Ways Of Black Folks: A Year in the Life of a People is about just that, people. These are ordinary stories by ordinary people. It’s just that simple. Some subjects were specifically chosen for the book, while other subjects were picked at random. Their stories, however positive and negative, are their own as individuals. No story is more important than another, however collectively, all of these stories tell us something about who we are as African Americans, Afro Brazilians, Afro Caribbean and West Indians in Britain. For fourteen months, I traveled nearly 150,000 miles searching for these stories.

The Divine Nine by Lawrence C. Ross, Jr.

Dafina Books, 2002

America's black fraternities and sororities are a unique and vital part of 20th century African American history. Since the creation of the first fraternity in 1906 at Cornell University they have provided young black achievers with opportunities to support each other, while serving their communities and the nation. From pioneering work in the suffragette movement to extraordinary strides during the Civil Rights era to life-changing inner-city mentoring programs in the 1990s, members of these organizations share a vital history of brotherhood, sisterhood, and service.
