I was at the bookstore today and ran across an interesting book called "Keeping Black Boys out of Special Education" by Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu.  I was skimming through the book and came across a table that compared the contents of cow's milk to human milk.  There was a couple of other tables about human milk, and about six or so paragraphs urging Black mothers to breastfeed.  He talked about how it is free, and the perfect food, and how it gives infants a perfect start.  He also discussed the idea that many African Americans cannot digest the milk of cows, and that it is not needed in the diet.  Obviously, I was not expecting to find this sort of information in a book directed at parents and teachers.  

This website was on the back of the book.
