New Friends In A New Land: A Thanksgiving Story
Alex Haley, as General Editor, contributed to New Friends In A New Land: A Thanksgiving Story by writing the following introduction: A Note From Alex Haley, General Editor
“Before people are friends or enemies, they are strangers. They don’t know each other. They have only just met. They might look a little different to one another. Their wat of doing things might be a little different. Having met, they must decide: friends or enemies?
How this question is answered is the story of New Friends In A New Land. It is a Thanksgiving story with a lesson for us all. You are always thankful for your friends, but never for your enemies. Choose friendship.” ~ Alex Haley.
