![]() ![]() ![]() I love this book and wholeheartedly thank those who sacrificed much. King, Congressman Lewis and others serve as the positive role models for how to address the root of problems and how to go about to help solve them. Leaders that truly see the problem and have meaningful solutions that will light the spark of restoring so many broken inner city communities. What is needed are strong young articulate leaders able to bring people together, to be change agents for their communities, cities, state, and country. The response is too often with riots, looting, and burning the community down which further perpetuates the stereo type of Black Americans as ghetto thugs and that is unfortunate. However, today in America we still struggle with remnants of past ghosts of injustices in the inner city, police brutality, and racial profiling. Lewis and others fault the fight through peaceful marches, using the power of words, the belief in a better America, a just America, and an inclusive America - they won their fight. ![]() The bravery and sacrifice of so many of these people should remind us all of the daily struggles and injustices they were subjected too for so many years. They were treated like animals and their lives meant nothing to the White Americans, often beaten, unjustly jailed, or even killed simply for being black. I read this with great admiration for Black Americans during the Civil Rights movement. ![]() Great read, Great art, Great story with insights from someone who has lived through those dark times in our nation. ![]()
