During that evening, Prince Demetrjusz decided to take a walk. Roald had insisted on accompanying him, and Kenechukwa followed at a distance. During the brisk walk that Demetrjusz took, he had tried to lose himself in the city. There were several shops open, and he looked idly into the windows, until he saw a flash of silver. Pausing, Demetrjusz looked a little closer into a shop window. With surprise, Demetrjusz saw a tiny woman standing before a display of brightly colored fabric. Her hair was white with a frame of black. Only one other person the prince had ever seen had that unique color pattern or diminutive stature-that of the figure skater from the previous charity performance. The prince's sensitive ears picked up every syllable that the tiny beauty said. "e;Stefanie, if you could use this in the costume you are sewing for me. I have to get back before my curfew is up."e;Stefanie said, "e;Domino, you can stay in my spare room. You don't have to stay at the institute anymore. You will be twenty-one in a couple of days."e;Demetrjusz sucked in a deep breath. This was Domino, the woman that had plagued his thoughts all day. The prince continued to listen as Domino said, "e;Dominique, please call me Dominique. I can't today. I have another event for the institute tomorrow night, and then I will be unemployed."e;Demetrjusz was in too deep of thought to notice that the woman that had infatuated him all day was saying her goodbyes. Dominique rushed out the door and straight into the immovable body of the prince. Demetrjusz gently steadied her little body with his hands, holding Dominique a little too long. Dominique looked up at Demetrjusz, her Kelly green eyes snapping their disapproval as she said, "e;Excuse me, sir."e;Dominique felt extremely annoyed at the tall, very handsome stranger who was holding her. Dominique raised her eyebrow at him when he did not release her and moved to the side.Prince Demetrjusz realized that he was breaking a cultural norm and apologized. Reluctantly, he released the little performer. And before Demetrjusz could stop Dominique, she had hopped on a public bus and was gone. Demetrjusz could still smell Dominique's intoxicating fragrance of peppermint and lavender as he watched the public transportation carry away the elusive female.Roald and Kenechukwa walked up to the prince. Roald inquired, "e;Did you know that young woman, Your Highness?"e;Demetrjusz answered as he stared at the bus driving away, "e;No, but I will."e; Turning to his friends, he said, "e;Most definitely, I will."e; The other two men looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

This book is about a young man coming to age back in the sixties, when Black men wore Afros and dashikis. We have just realized how important allies really were, no more mopping floors and working in the auto factories. We were going to be business owners, and no one could imagine what was in store for us-the burning down of my brother's nightclub, a fight for my life, and my mother hanging on for dear life as my brother's nightclub went up in flames. The opening of my photo lab was the biggest photo finishing plant the Kodak I've ever seen; that was owned by a Black man, hundreds of accounts from Los Angeles to Beverly Hills, but the robbers didn't care. The police could not protect me; my employee respects life, going to work every day. This was the fight of my life; could you imagine coming to work finding your mother beat down in the store? I had to defend myself and my employees; it was a tale. Was it worth it? The dead bodies in the alley, my wife having no idea of what I was going through every day. My kids did not care; they only saw that I was never there. Get the insight of what it meant to be a Black business owner in the sixties. Everyone talked about a Black business owner getting a free ride with business loans from the SBA, but they never knew the truth. I still wake up at night in cold sweats, thinking about what I have been through. Was it all worth it?

This is a true story. This happened over twenty years ago. My hope with Hearts of the Same Color is it that it can help one child not have to carry something into adulthood that he or she should never have to carry; it is something no one should have to wear. We can all be proud of ourselves inside and out. I hope this will give our children a realization that they are not alone in their struggles. Just because people say hurtful things does not mean that it is true, and we do not ever have to let that define us. We can be polite and say thank you for sharing because we cannot change them. However, we can say kind and loving things to ourselves. We can love ourselves and realize our own value as well as our importance. Eventually, we can break the chain that so many of us carry of not being enough. May God bless you all and protect you all as we continue this journey of life.

Three childhood friends found themselves entwined in the vicissitudes of life on the mean streets of the South Bronx, where the invisible hands of greed lacked empathy. In a desperate attempt to escape poverty, Malcolm, Eric, and Yadiel actuated by a feeling of hopelessness, embraced a path in the streets that lead them into a life of gangs, arson, murder, and drugs. By 1977, on the gritty streets of the South Bronx, buildings were going up in smoke all over the city at a time when arson was the answer to everything. As Greed told the story of life and death, heroin filled the veins of those who tried to escape the horrors of the world through a delusive feeling of euphoria. By the early eighties, crack, a very potent form of cocaine, surfaced on the streets of New York, and with it came a profitable curse that conveyed death and destruction everywhere it went.
We have many conspiracy theories. This book adds the costliest in money and lives. The conspiracy is to lead professors of finance, economics, political science and law away from understanding today's money supply system. This is accomplished by not requiring professors to study the 1913 Federal Reserve Act to become professors. This is the act of Congress that established our checking account systems. Professors can't teach what they don't understand and they can't understand what they don't study. What wasn't taught to the author by his professors is the 1913 Federal Reserve Act replaced "e;gold as money"e; with "e;checking account balances as money"e;, but it didn't say so directly. The Federal Reserve Act also gave the government's power to control checking account deposits to non-government people, but it didn't say so directly. It gave the non-government people the power to increase a checking account balance without actually depositing money, but it didn't say so directly. The non-government people are allowed to make a checking deposit, without actually depositing money, and loan that Money-Less-Deposit to the US national debt. The non-government executives of the Federal Reserve board did say that directly, but the professors would have had to also study the 1864 National Currency Act to recognize that the conspiracy is within the reserves of the Federal Reserve, but they aren't required to study that act either to become professors. The purpose of this book is to counter the conspiracy by explaining the economic system created by the Federal Reserve Act to citizens and then ask citizens to help the author persuade professors to study the Federal Reserve Act so they can begin teaching us the correct information. That information will lead the U.S. to financial greatness because right now citizens are conquered by a misunderstood document passed by Congressmen over one hundred years ago.
