On June 19th, 2008, the Dr. Charles Blockson African-American Library at Temple University celebrated the Grand Opening of their new facilities while also celebrating Juneteenth, the anniversary of the emancipation of the African slaves in America. Dr. Diane Turner is the new curator of the library, inheriting her position from Dr. Blockson who donated the vast collection of Afro-centric books, artwork and memorabilia to Temple University.
Former New Haven Resident, Christina Lashley, author of "The Color of My Spirit: A Spiritual Quest Around the World was the featured author making this her first public announcement of her new book. Ms. Lashley donated one of her first editions to the collection. The standing room only crowd participated in a traditional African libation honoring the ancestors and singing of the Black National Anthem. It was a very exciting afternoon for all in attendance.

(Book Description
If you had the opportunity to travel around the world to explore life’s sacred mysteries, ancient architectural wonders and experience metaphysical phenomenon, yet had to risk your life, money and career to do it, would you answer the spiritual call?
The Color of My Spirit: A Spiritual Quest Around the World is an extraordinary memoir of the author’s supernatural experiences over a twenty-year period that led her into her past, her purpose and her connection with the Divine. From the sub-terranean caverns in the Great Pyramid to the Great Wall of China, to an angelic cosmic energy transference at the top of the Tor in Glastonbury, England, the author showed up and sometimes her energy was used unbeknown to her, to raise the vibrational frequency of the planet.
Follow Christina around the world on her journey to exotic locations and surprising outcomes. Her story is a real-life “Da Vinci Code”.
The Color of My Spirit is a fascinating and sensitive account of spiritual awakening … Christina has given us an unusually candid look into her rich inner journey … her story and the ramifications of her personal discoveries make for a very enjoyable read …
