Publisher Description: A book of poems that highlights the Black experience in America, before and during the Trump Era presidency. It offers a novel prophetic prospective into the social, economic, cultural, racial, and religious thoughts of an American-African author. It seeks to address what seems to be an American's eternal disdain for persons of skin tone, other than white. Equally, if not more so, it seeks to have a cultural discussion with Black persons of America regarding the author's position that the race is in a moral and cultural decline. It suggests that the dominate culture's disdain of Blacks has transformed into a Black on Black psychological disdain of their culture and race. That the once "I'm Black and I'm Proud" motif no longer exist in the hearts, minds, character, and above all "soul" of the America-African people. Thus, the prophetic cries of Black Hope, in these poems, are prayers to God to reshape the perspectives of a people He saved from slavery; and to America and the world, "Blackness is to be, "see". |
