This page should not be speedy deleted because...Lawrence Ross is a nationally known writer. He wrote two ground breaking books for the African American community: The Divine Nine: The History of African American Fraternities and Sororities, which was the first book written on the subject. He is recognized as an expert and has appeared on CNN, NPR, etc. among other media. He's also lectured at over 400 universities. And he wrote Money Shot, the first book written on African Americans in porn. This deletion doesn't make any sense because he CLEARLY meets the criteria.
