Book Description
This book remembers one hundred years since Black Wall Street and it reflects on the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Black Wall Street was the most successful Black business district in the United States; yet, it was isolated from the blooming white oil town of Tulsa, Oklahoma, because of racism. During the early twentieth century African-Americans lived in the constant threat of extreme violence by white supremacy, lynching, and Jim and Jane Crow laws. The text explores, through a Womanist lens, the moral dilemma of Black ontology and the existential crisis of living in America as equal human beings to white Americans. This prosperous Black business district and residential community was lynched by white terror, hate, jealousy, and hegemonic power, using unjust laws and a legally sanctioned white mob. Terrorism operated historically based on the lies of Black inferiority with the support of law and white supremacy. Today this same precedence continues to terrorize the life experiences of African-Americans. The research examines Native Americans and African-Americans, the Black migration west, the role of religion, Black women's contributions, lynching, and the continued resilience of Black Americans.

There are several books already written about the bitter-sweet history of Tulsa's famed Black Wall Street. Doni Glover, author of Unapologetically Black, looks at the story behind the story.

That's where Black Seminole Chief John Horse emerges as a gallant leader to Oklahoma and beyond. Also, abolitionist John Brown and Exoduster leader "Pap" Singleton are recognized for their roles in making Kansas a popular destination for Blacks fleeing the horrors of the Deep South.This book is sure to enlighten the reader to some important yet lesser-known history that is hidden right before our very eyes. I Am Black Wall Street will also inspire this new generation of entrepreneurs by assuring them that they stand on the shoulders of certified giants.

Pages : 126
Book Description
In a world where the complexities of race, history, and personal identity intersect, I have embarked on a journey to share my reflections, experiences, and lessons learned throughout my life. This book is not just a collection of stories; it is a heartfelt exploration of love, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of the African American community. As I reflect on my life as a husband, father, and son, I am reminded of the importance of understanding our past to shape a better future. The struggles faced by my ancestors echo in the stories of those who came before me, from the horrors of slavery to the triumphs of self-made communities like Black Wall Street. Through these pages, I aim to pay homage to their sacrifices while encouraging future generations to embrace their heritage with pride and strength. This book also addresses the uncomfortable truths of racism, the impact of systemic oppression, and the nuances of human relationships. It serves as a reminder that not every individual is defined by their race or experiences, urging compassion and understanding in a world too often divided by color. I share my reflections not only to recount my personal journey but also to ignite conversations that can lead to healing and unity. The path to understanding one another begins with dialogue, and it is my hope that this book will inspire readers to engage in that essential conversation. Join me as we navigate the complexities of our shared humanity, recognizing that while our stories may differ, our struggles and dreams are deeply intertwined. Together, let us strive for a future filled with love, respect, and understanding. About this book

I wish the world could be so full of sunshine, joy, and happiness. I wish the world could be full of peace with itself. I wish there was no more killing, dying, diseases in the world. I wish that we could rid ourselves of these horrible, horrible catastrophes that affect us all. Cancer eats the blood out of our bodies and makes us look like skeletons. There's no hope, but we are doomed to death just like the world is doomed to destruction. Hate, hate, hate is everywhere. There is no love nowhere. If only we could start loving each other like God meant for it to be. I wonder how many of us get up in the morning and say Good morning, neighbors! I love you. None of us, cause we dont love ourselves.

Book Description
"[A] rich and tender story of family, home and love." —Ms. Magazine Set amid Sag Harbor’s vibrant African American history, bestselling author Donna Hill weaves a stunningly rich story about finding the way home...no matter how long the journey takes. Alessandra Fleming has spent most of her life running from her past. Her budding photography career, her life in Manhattan, all serve to distract from the secrets and guilt she’s never been able to face. Then the call. Her estranged father is in the hospital...and Alessandra must return home to Sag Harbor, crumbling the first wall between her past and her present. For some, coming home is a relief. For Alessandra, it’s a reminder of the family she’s lost, of the time she’ll never regain. But the answers—the secrets—of her family are hidden in the house, waiting for her. And the only one who may be able to help her uncover them is her father’s neighbor, Zach, who brings with him an attraction that’s intense and instantaneous, yet oddly familiar. Now Alessandra is being pulled back not only into her own complex family history, but into the richly documented lives of four extraordinary women. Generations touched by tragedy and triumph, despair and hope. And it’s in these aching echoes of the past that Alessandra’s own story—her mistakes and her capacity to love—will take shape, guiding her to the life she’s meant to live...and the extraordinary person she will become.

Why I Stand
Author: Burgess Owens
Publisher: Post Hill Press
ISBN: 1682617408
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
American Individualism has been the crown jewel of a nation that, based on its Judeo-Christian values, has prioritized God, family, and freedom to out-dream its obstacles. It is the freedom of this individual spirit that is under attack by its adversarial ideology, Marxist Socialism. This destructive ideology has resulted in “killing fields” of bodies, souls, and dreams of billions worldwide. Consistent is the destruction of manhood, womanhood, the family, and every pillar that supports love of God and country. Why I Stand documents an ideology that uses trust to divide and betray. It was the ideology of the 1910 NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) founded by twenty-one White Marxist Socialist, atheist, and eugenicist Democrats. They succeeded within decades to undermine the progress of the most entrepreneurial, patriotic, Christian, educated, family-oriented, and competitive minority in our nation during that era: the Black community. This strategy of trust/betrayal is utilized by many of today’s politicians and corporate leaders. It has been the Congressional Black Congress that have voted 100% for every anti-Black policy demanded of them by their White Democratic leadership. It has been the NFL that has prioritized its expansion to 10 international countries over loyalty to its American fans. Its leadership has justified the denigration of its “All American” brand in exchange for a global “World Citizen” brand. “American Individualism is the sole source of progress, granting each individual the chance and stimulation for development of the best with which he has been endowed in heart and mind.” - President Herbert Hoover We MUST defend it.
