What Others Say About Us
"A poetic history book of hope, speckled with phenomenal classic pictures of those who forged ahead of us, or beside us, living this poetry during a life of despair, with heads held up by love, faith and hope."

"Fred Jackson has truly found his niche. Priceless Pearls is a true representative of the Harlem Renaissance Era. His poems are certainly moving and captures the ears of the listeners. During this Black History Month, I have had the opportunity to share his poems on a daily basis with the students and staff. One of our all time favorites is "Let the Flowers Grow". The students and staff have verbally expressed their appreciation of such fine poetry and the history facts about the Harlem era."
