Story
Some people say that someone could act in a racist manner because of ignorance. Others say that racist people are being persuaded by others or copying others' behavior. However, none of this tells us how racism began or if we can get to the root cause. Racism is the assumption that one human race is superior to another. The intrinsic biological features of a person predetermine the social and moral features of the human.

Newton: The Radical Theorist, Judson L. Jeffries considers the entire arc of Newton's political role and influence on civil rights history and African American thought.

In February 2013 I gave a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. Standing a few feet from President Obama, I warned my fellow citizens of the dangers facing our country and called for a return to the principles that made America great. Many Americans heard and responded, but our nation’s decline has continued. Today the danger is greater than ever before, and I have never shared a more urgent message than I do now.

Like many other people of faith, you may be concerned about what the future holds for Christians in America. Every day we wake up in a nation and world that is increasingly hostile to our beliefs and values. Even the basic freedoms that define America - speech and religion - are under attack. The result is that many of us have become fearful, apathetic, and detached. The great need of the day is a sweeping revolution of courage in our lives, families, and houses of worship. A Call for Courage will spark that revolution in you.

Instead of using race as an excuse to remake America into something completely antithetical to the Constitution, Dr. Carson suggests ways to enhance and bring great success to our nation and all multiethnic societies by magnifying America's incredible strengths instead of her historical weaknesses.

America’s story is one of great social achievement. From the abolitionists who fought to outlaw slavery, to the suffragettes who championed women’s right to vote, to the civil rights proponents who battled segregation and institutionalized white supremacy, to the proponents of the women’s movement and gay rights seeking equality for all, citizens for generations have risen up to fulfill the promise of our nation. Over the course of America’s history, these activists have both embodied and enacted the nation’s deepest values.

In Faithful Antiracism, Christina Barland Edmondson and Chad Brennan take confidence that Christ has overcome the world, including racism, and offer clear analysis and interventions to challenge and resist its pernicious power.

America's problem with race has deep roots, with the country's foundation tied to the near extermination of one race of people and the enslavement of another. Racism is truly our nation's original sin. "It's time we right this unacceptable wrong", says best-selling author and leading Christian activist Jim Wallis. Fifty years ago, Wallis was driven away from his faith by a white church that considered dealing with racism to be taboo.

Story
Among the unsettling social shifts in the wake of 9/11 was the global attention paid to Islam. Here in the United States, we became divided, often sadly along partisan lines, between those who believed every Muslim was a potential threat and those who believed no Muslim could do wrong. For conservative Wisconsin native and former U.S. Navy lieutenant commander Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, these radical times meant facing a new reality as a devout Muslim and a patriot - a certain betrayal within his faith.

Story
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was not trying to start a movement. She was simply tired of the social injustice. Yet her simple act of courage started a chain of events that forever shaped the landscape of American race relations. Now, decades after her quiet defiance inspired the modern civil rights movement, Mrs. Parks' own words tell of her courageous life, her passion for freedom and equality, and her strong faith.

Story
Spanning more than 200 years, An African American and Latinx History of the United States is a revolutionary, politically charged narrative history arguing that the "Global South" was crucial to the development of America as we know it. Ortiz challenges the notion of westward progress, and shows how placing African American, Latinx, and Indigenous voices unapologetically front and center transforms American history into the story of the working class organizing against imperialism.

Eddie Taylor offers meaningful solutions
The resurgence of talk around reparations for American Descendants of Slaves [ADOS] has mainstream Black America abuzz. Attitudes pendulate between conditioned skepticism and utter dismissal, as in "no chance". Eddie Taylor's book, "How to Move Black America Forward", provides fodder for substantive discussion. While his book does not specifically address the subject, per se, it does offer tangible, strategic solutions that can galvanize Black America to meaningful, effective, and self-actualizing action.
In his chapters, "Race Relations" and "Talented Tenth", Eddie Taylor extols the virtues inherent in Black America, even illustrating how American citizens currently enjoy the benefits of civil rights that primarily were fought for and won by Black America. Like a museum curator, he systematically takes us on a strengths-based tour through the halls of Black American accomplishments. Here we are reintroduced to the Black Church and its role in unifying Black America. From such unification, strategic leadership emerged. Arguably, it is the organizational excellence of the Black Church that successfully engaged our country in civil disobedience, leading to a better life for future generations of all cultures. In the aptly entitled chapter, "You're Welcome", Dr. Taylor eloquently makes this point.
While I can understand the author's apparent goal of focusing on the bounty of strengths that Black America has in its reservoir, I would have appreciated further analysis of the deep-seated issues that tend to resurface even when meaningful advances have been made. Such issues pertain to the fragility of the family unit and the pervasiveness of chronically unaddressed mental health or normalized PTSD.
To his credit, however, the book covers the gamut of Black America's excellence, from its unprecedented fortitude to its innovation and brilliance that impact every aspect of life around the world. Culminating with the famous anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing", the author successfully leaves the reader with a sense of awe and expectation. We are inspired with the promise of a new level of greatness that the ever resilient Black America will undoubtedly achieve.
