The fact is we are being lied to everyday of our lives. The challenge is how do we find and determine what is truth?As black Americans it is vital that we look past the rhetoric to find the truth not only about our history, but that of America. This compelling book reveals hard-hitting issues which have faced Americans since the 1800's and still exist today. It reveals history that has been hidden and insights that have been in plain sight-for those willing to look. The agenda against black Americans has been well-organized and masked in "compassion" but the reality is compassion had nothing to do with what has transpired. To know the truth requires that we open our eyes, look closely and learn to think for ourselves. We are no longer slaves, but many still act like it. It's time we escape from plantation-like thinking, and walk in our true identity and destiny.Will you join me?
