Book Description
An American Story: My Family and Yours is a template, using myself and my family to reveal the impact slavery has had on America, not just to African Americans, but to whites as well. This book is not written out of anger, resentment, hatred or bitterness. It is an attempt to analyze deeply hidden emotions from both sides that have been handed down for over 250 years.
An American Story: My Family and Yours, recognizes that biases are deep, mental, destructive patterns of thought, that cling to and guide our behaviors. Layers and layers of human, corrective, theories and practices have been tried, but as we see today in this country, the sleeping giant is awakened when one side ventured too far above what the other side considers tolerable. Because of economic reasons, blacks always get the short end of the stick! The power structure is white, and it sets the polices, laws and social norms.
Spirituality is goodness, perfection, justice, faith, hope, righteousness and inner beauty…to name a few. With these embedded in consciousness, there is no room for hate, superiority, inferiority, injustice, inequality and fear.
We are. . .what we believe!
