Turning one's life around can be difficult but not impossible. You need to have a strong constition to change. No one is without a blemish and it is not something to be ashamed of. It's a reminder of a wounded past that can be used to heal others. We all have been damaged, but it should not be a reason to be discouraged.

Many citizens in the United States have lost confidence in the laws that are written in the United States Constitution. People are seeking solutions to some of the hardships they face today, while also attempting to learn about and regain their constitutional rights. African Americans are involved in crime, substance abuse, suicides, incarceration, feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, poverty, poor health and unrealized potential in academic and occupational pursuits. Until we address these crimes in the Black community, youth will continue to die and not live up to their dreams.

Statistics reveal students dropping out of school will cost the nation nearly three hundred thirty billion dollars over their life time in lost wages, taxes and productivity. Pastor Sherrod speaks about slavery returning to America. Slavery has been abolished for over two hundred years. President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation for Negro people to be free. Slavery in America today is not working in the fields, picking tobacco or cotton. Prisons have become America's new plantation, where prisoners are force to provide cheap labor; that can be used to increase the economy. Despite our enslavement more than four hundred years ago, our ancestors never gave up. They did have faith that the cream would once again rise to the top, but lately a sense of hopelessness seems to have invaded our spirits. This book will allow Americans to visualize their struggles to obtain the American dream, but denied various opportunities.
