Publisher Description: "Arise" unearth the essence & struggles of Black men & their respective families in America during the 20th century (early 1900's- 2000). This document unfolds some of the emotional turmoil families encountered prior to/from the great migration-journey from the southern cotton fields of Georgia- to the booming urban industries of the North. The book provides dreadful and horrifying accounts and testimonies revealing the hardships of their uncles, brothers, cousins, friends and men during their youth. The author unveils his family as a microcosm as other Black families living in rural and urban America during the pre-civil rights era: segregation, discrimination, riots, Vietnam War, welfare establishment/entitlement and the post aftermath of the civil rights movement. |
