| Publisher Description:
This book is designed to stimulate "real dialog" that sheds light on race in America in an affirming manner that will leave audiences of all colors feeling more enlightened and better prepared to meet sensitive racial issues head on We should seek inward solutions to our concerns about racial discrimination, bigotry, personal growth, parenting and mentoring. e Author has been noted as "serious with a sense of humor, informative, sensational and motivational inspirational." The Unshackled Mind is based on the notion that African Americans must POSITIVELY reconnect to history. We must work to place our ancestors at the table of human achievement and accomplishment. However this must be done in a positive way that inspires, motivates and captivates rather than incite crippling anger and hostility. I want people of color to proudly look at their past and empower themselves to take control of their own lives. My approaches to dealing with racism are a mixture of Minister Malcolm X's unapologetic self-determinisms and Dr. Martin Luther King's all-encompassing humanistic spiritualism. is book represents a fresh new approach to understanding and healing the minds and hearts of young African Americans. (Find out who you are, then set out to stake your claim in the world. The world is yours to do with as you think. Educate yourself Examine your thoughts ) |
