Why are dialysis centers popping up in urban communities as numerous as fast food restaurants? Why are we seeing children with aging-related diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney failure? Paulette Miles, in her book "Becky's Kidneys" takes a look at kidney disease and its shocking recent increase in children. She discusses the emergence of dialysis centers in urban communities and what must be done to stop this trend of failing kidneys and the need for the machine-assisted blood purification process known as dialysis. Viyahta Robin shares her book  Sherman J. Howard: Football and Beyond, and Assata Kirkland discusses nonviolent parenting in her book Beating Black Kids.
