Philanthropy runs deep for African-Americans
The book "Giving Back: A Tribute to Generations of African American Philanthropists" fulfills a long-standing dream of its author, Charlotte resident Valaida Fullwood, who with photographer Charles W. Thomas Jr. has assembled more than 60 stories of residents who have demonstrated that giving time, talent and treasure is as much a privilege as it is a central component to African-American community life.
"African-Americans have a legacy and history of giving that extends back centuries," Fullwood said. "Giving circles, where individuals in the community pool their contributions, are an extension of that charitable heritage."
