Jermaine became a member of the group again with this project. Jacksons Need Michael, one sound Continued From Page 8A Still, a Jacksons album with out Michael doing most of the lead singing is the like the LA Lakers playing without Magic Johnson: a good effort, but no championship ring. In this case, a good album, but nothing to brag about Vanessa WUliams in a pose fiom album cover "The Right Stuff' Marriage, Gold LP Help Singer Find "Right Stuff NEW YORK (AP) — Vanessa Williams says the nude photos that ended her reign as the first black Miss America were both an unfortunate mistake and an Impetus for change. "1 don't know how I got through it, but you have to get on with your life," Williams, 26, says in the September issue of Ladles' Home Journal. "It's what you do with a tragedy that makes life worth living." What she did was hire publi cist-manager Ramon Hervey in 1984 after the old photos sud denly surfaced in a magazine and she was forced to give up her crown. Williams and Hervey were married in 1987 and have two children: 2-year-old Mela nie and 1-year-old JUUan. Williams also landed small roles on TV and Off-Broadway _ refusing to even consider roles requiring nudity. Her first record album, "The Right Stuff," went gold last March and spawned four hit singles. She re ceived two Grammy nomina tions and co-starred In a TV mo vie earlier this year. "I always knew that one of these days I'd get a chance to show them. The best revenge is to be a success, to have a normal life and to have not committed suicide," she said, adding that she never considered the latter. "I feel really comfortable. Now that I finally have a career and a family, there Is a catharsis," she said. "But I don't feel that fills is as far as I'm going to get, because this is just the beginning." New Book Tells How Blacks Played Greater Role In Major Historical Events PHILADELPHIA - Refreshing stories of black people from the past come to life in Mark Hy man's nev/ book. It answers a score of unheard of questions: Could Caesor's black son by Cleopatra have ruled the world? Were black generals in the his tory of the Bible the greatest of aU times? Were black people the first Egyptians? Where is proof that blacks sailed to America before Columbus? This r.m;,sual book carries two titles, something new in the in dustry. The titles are Black Sho gun of Japan and Sophonisba: Wife of Two Warring Kings. The two characters lived 1,200 years apart. Black Shogun tells of an African living in Japan in the 9tli century. Tills was 700 years before American was discov ered. His family of mUitaiy lead ers had lived in Japan for centu ries. The Shogun's name was Sakanouye Tammamara Maro. He rose in military rank to com pete with the highest tn the na tion. Later, after saving the Jap anese from the fierce Ainu, he was made Shogun. Sophonisba, a princess of Black Carthage during the Sec ond Punic War(216 B.C. to 201) was the niece of the great black general, Hanniabal Wlien the tide turned against Carthage, Sophonisba was given to black King Syphax who was fighting Carthage for Rome. She had al ready been given to Masslnissa. a Numldlan, who later became an enemy of Carthage. She poi soned herself to escape capture by Rome.
