Publisher’s Note: From a Black Perspective is the on-going manifestation of several collective dreams. It's three volumes features previously published, unpublished, new up-and-coming authors. As a whole, the project is a gathering of entertaining, inspirational, and educated voices modeled after the collective creative literary power of the long-celebrated Harlem Renaissance.
From a Black Perspective is a celebration of the diversity within the Black literary community. It serves as an antithesis to the notion that the Black community is monolithic in our interests, values, political views, and the genres in which we write but rather a people as varied as the hues of our skin. This three-part anthology affords Rainbow Room Publishing, LLC the opportunity to fulfill one of its primary objectives: providing a vehicle and platform to facilitate the publication of as many diverse and otherwise underrepresented voices as possible.
Your support of this project in its three volume entirety or in part further enables the publication of each contributing author's individual creative and publishing efforts while inspiring countless Black voices. We encourage you to reserve space on your bookshelves for more individual works from each of these published authors in 2025 and beyond and to join your voices and aims similar to those represented in From a Black Perspective to ours by contacting the publisher
“Pierce has assembled an eclectic, inventive posse of wordsmiths for a collection that may be slender in volume but bountiful in pleasure… My only complaint: this ride
ended way too soon. So I anxiously anticipate ‘Volume Two: The People.’”

"Gold or yellow, representing peace and harmony, has also been associated with pan-African solidarity as inspired by the flag of Ethiopia that Emperor Menelik had made on 11 October 1897, a year after Ethiopia decisively defeated the Kingdom of Italy at the Battle of Adwa.”
