== Self-help and Free Antebellum Blacks ==

Perhaps a section on the self-help exhibited by free blacks living in Pre-Civil War America would be interesting.

Is not self help also a specific legal term, perhaps related to pro se (but I think more expansive)? If so that should be mentioned.Mike Linksvayer 00:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. The intro is now somewhat disjointed from the content, which could benefit from more information about the trend toward more expansive self-help services in recent times. Self-help certainly is a widely recognized concept beyond the "pscyhological nostrum." Leastos 06:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Representative samples

I trimmed the list of links and books, removing those that were apparently from non-notable sources, based in part on Alexa ratings. The article won't ever list every book and Web site because it is not a directory.Is there some way we can select representative samples -- aren't their leading authors who set landmarks in this subject? Maybe Norman Vincent Peale ? Leastos 07:03, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
