Greetings Indigo People!
( Who are Indigo People? )
We've put together our first annual summer reading list which
we hope you will enjoy. We figure with the heat and all, why
not catch up on some classics you may have forgotten to read
or want to re-read?
Hope you enjoy the selected new and noteworthy books for this
month, which features Colin Channer, a neighbor and friend.
His latest work has been published by Akashic Books, a local
publisher, who are also neighbors and friends!
This month we planned to endorse Kevin Powell as a candidate for our local
district here in Brooklyn, but he has dropped out of the race.
The article endorsing him is included here anyway, since it goes into some detail
about our current Congressman, Ed Towns, and why he
should not be re-elected.
Keep reading and thank you for your support!

Kevin Powell For Congress
Update:
Kevin has dropped out of the race as of 07/05/06. We are pretty disappointed that he is not going
to be our next Congressman. Since there is no way in God's green Earth that
Indigo could support Towns, we will have to get back to you on who we will support.
The following is the article I wrote in support of Kevin for the site and newsletter, before I found out
he had dropped out of the race.
Please vote for Kevin Powell for Congress in the New York
Democratic primary on September 12. It's time that this district (NY District 10) had a progressive
voice in office. I encourage people from this district and all over the US to support Kevin.
Please send
money for his campaign as this is a grassroots movement to get him elected.
You may remember him from MTV's The Real World
(back when it was a useful experiment in looking into the lives of young people). But he has done so
much more since those days. I actually know him a bit. He read at our store when we were a storefront. He
has always been a big supporter of Indigo. I recognize in him a true progressive spirit attempting to make
people's lives better. He is young, brash, and full of energy. I think that he will represent
this district well in Congress.

Set in the Caribbean and the U.S.A., the stories sweep across a range of moods and genres to
create a narrative LP of fascinating voices. From the old lady who gives a speech on "How to
Beat a Child the Right and Proper Way", to the schizophrenic singer who thinks he's Bob
Marley, to the hotel maid who gets a sexual offer that she can't refuse, the diverse mix
of characters are linked by the fundamental principle that all clichéd conventions must be
shouted off the page. In the proudly odd tradition of Jamaican music, the selections seek
to entertain while asking daring questions that provoke new ideas into being.

A Hope in the Unseen introduces a teenager who studies as if his life depends on it -- and it does.
An honor student walking the gauntlet of sneers and threats at his crime infested high school in
Washington, DC, Cedric Jennings achieved the impossible: a 4.02 grade-point average and acceptance
into Brown University. Yet the Ivy League world, with its bewildering array of intellectual and
social challenges, presents situations almost as intimidating as the inner city. Only Cedric's faith,
intelligence, and willpower can sustain his hope in an unseen future -- a life of rewards he struggles,
each day, to envision.
