The Greatest Survivors on Earth

This book is designed to give the reader explicit details on many of the horrific atrocities which black people have suffered through for centuries and still have to be on guard for despite periodic advances. There have been many of us who have risen to high positions of authority in various fields of endeavor, including the Presidency, despite overt or thinly veiled attempts to block our ascent. It also demonstrates the resiliency of a people who were forced to come here under the threat of whippings and beatings, and at gun point. Adaptation became their calling card as they always found a way to bounce back and survive the harshest of treatment and demands. They never fully accepted their fate and attempted over 250 escapes and revolts over the years. Some say that they stand on the shoulders of those who came before, but I believe that now is the time for us to free them from all the burdens their shoulders have carried and stand proudly in their shadow and the magnificent image they have left for us to emulate. They had their language stolen from them, their religion, their culture and their families and still they rose. Our ancestors loom large as examples of what can be accomplished if you never give up, and maintain your self-respect. I must warn you this will not be an easy read.
