Last Tuesday, GBN announced its first-ever giveaway contest – a chance for three lucky readers to email in to win free copies of award-winning author Jeff Chang‘s most recent work, “Who We Be: The Colorization of America.” As promised, today we are announcing the names of those who entered and prevailed in the random drawing, and here they are: Julia S. Butler, Charles Terrell Franklin and Pam Curry!
Congratulations to you three and many thanks to everyone who wrote in. It was great to receive such positive response, interest and feedback, and GBN will definitely have more giveaways in the future.

GBN Giveaway: Three Lucky Readers to Receive Free Copies of "Who We Be: The Colorization of America"
Good Black News is getting into the holiday spirit early — by giving away three copies of acclaimed author Jeff Chang‘s latest book, “Who We Be: The Colorization of America.”
In this follow-up to the classic “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation,” which garnered Chang an American Book Award, “Who We Be” remixes comic strips and contemporary art, campus protests and corporate marketing campaigns, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Trayvon Martin into a powerful, unusual, and timely cultural history of the idea of racial progress.
I am currently reading this impressive, comprehensive work (the section on African-American comic strip artist Morrie Turner alone is worth the read) and can’t wait to share more about it once I’m finished, but why wait for a GBN review and recommendation when you can get the book for free right away?
To enter, simply send your name and email address with the subject heading “Who We Be Giveaway” to goodblacknewsgiveaways@yahoo.com by Saturday, November 8. We will choose three winners at random and announce their names on Monday.
Onward and Upward… and good luck!
