Thoughts, Reflections and Solutions to African Issues in America

About the Book

Injustice, police brutality, separate and unequal schools, high incarceration rates, poverty, unemployment, inaccurate media representation, and racism are but a few of the major issues African-Americans struggle with on a daily basis. These are issues that are tangible to many African-Americans. Despite these deleterious issues, “mainstream” America continues to perpetuate them simply by ignoring, trivializing, and not addressing them on almost every level. America can never be truly “unified” until all people are afforded equal rights, justice, and opportunity. This book is a collection of solutions oriented essays that honestly, and candidly, addresses various issues that disproportionately affect African-Americans.
