“One people, one race, one place,” humanity's journey started in the fertile land of Africa. This collection of aphorisms and proverbs is a portable capsule of the wisdom found along those journeys. They are the wise words of the giants that have walked among us. In large typeface words, each invaluable life lesson is defined with sincere simplicity. The aligning images are stunning artwork created by various artists from around the world. Walter's chosen words and collaborative teamwork reminds us that unity really is strength.
