Do you remember running barefoot outside as a child, sometimes paying the price with a splinter or piece of glass that had to be dislodged from  your foot by the nearest adult with a sterilized sewing needle and alcohol? Then you were warned to keep your shoes on while the wound heeled so that you could avoid infection. In many of the townships and rural areas of Southern Africa and other underserved communities around the globe, shoes are rare and prized commodities. It is common for children and their families in these areas to travel barefoot-no matter what the weather or terrain. Walking barefoot exposes their feet to rusty metals and glass, urine, feces and various bacteria that could lead to acute infection including gangrene and, in many cases, could ultimately result in amputations.

 What do you say about Hal Jackson? At 92, he is the oldest DJ in radio. With nearly 70 years in the industry, he is indeed a pioneer, and as a black man he has broken numerous barriers in the fields of broadcasting and entertainment and continues to be an inspiration to and encourager of young people. He is at once, a legend and an icon, a crusader and an American original. He has seen the changes in the fortunes of African Americans in the 20th Century–from lynchings and Jim Crow segregation to the possibility of a black man becoming President of the United States. His life story is the stuff authors wish they could dream up. In fact it has been chronicled in his autobiography The House That Jack Built, first published in 2001, and now out in paperback.
