Description

Author: Robert P. Harris, Jr. 

Generations of American Black children have been taught about their past through a Eurocentric lens. The history of Black people is often condensed to slavery, the end of slavery, and the civil rights movement.

An average young Black person knows Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., and quite recently former President Barrack Obama as their only heroes. A doctored history leaves out true struggles of Black people against powerful forces determined to keep them under subjugation. This book is a narrative of Black lives. It’s a retelling of history that does not cover the horrors of slavery. Its pages unveil the dark cloak of time, bringing to life ancestors erased from history by the inaccurate and romanticized portrayal of an altered past.

It goes back in time to the arrival of Black People on the shores of America in slave ships. It reveals their relentless struggle against slavery, segregation, marginalization, disenfranchisement, and deprivation. It uncovers the fear, pain, and tears endured by Black people for their right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. The book explores the reason for ‘Negro Poverty’ a poverty that has defied generations of affirmative action. The COVID-19 pandemic has helped lift the lid that shrouded racial inequity. It has brought to light the perils of financial incapacitation amongst Black communities.

To help Black communities fight for a second liberation, their right to financial freedom. The book offers a step-by-step guide to wealth creation solutions.
