About the Book

This book examines the potential statehood status of Black Americans in a post Obama period. It presents the condition that Black Americans find themselves from an engineering scientist perspective. Plausible alternative solutions for Black Americans are carefully critiqued with a rational narrowing process. A new option is put on the table that has to do with founding of a new organization known as International African American Workforce. This initiative, IAAW, represents an American workforce made up largely of Black Americans that have nation building skills conducive to engaging in large industrial projects. The IAAW Administration translates need of select African countries into an Industrial upgrade-for-Land project. Types of Industrial upgrades the company would administer in host African countries include: 1. Vocational Institutes 2. Manufacturing and assembly plant upgrades 3. Advanced Irrigation Systems 4. Process Plant Upgrades 5. Middle school to High school Upgrades 6. Electrical Power grid Upgrades African countries motivated to be a global competitor in the world economies of tomorrow stand to benefit from projects led by IAAW organization in Africa. These Black Americans, part of a group of 144,000, would bring a host of technical skills and know how to the country. Black Americans and a mix of other races in America are encouraged to join IAAW as the effects of Covid 19 and social racism cause further tension almost to the brinks of war.


About the Author

One of seven children born to African American parents in a rural suburb of Detroit, Michigan. After attending Michigan State University and graduating with a BS in electrical engineering, left for Phoenix to begin engineering career with some of the largest manufacturers in the country. There was Sperry Flight Systems in Phoenix, General Electric in Kansas City, GM in Flint, Michigan, Ford Cleveland Engine Plant and Siemens Industry in Pittsburg, PA followed by PSEG nuclear in New Jersey. Initial assignments were Power distribution then switched to assignments in Automation and Controls as the demand changed. In 1986, took a trip to Egypt which became a pivotal point in my life. This is my second book and comes after 40 years as a practicing engineer in this country.
