Publisher's Synopsis
Everyday people follow the easy path of submission and conformity, and ignore their own internal cries of a better future, and environment for themselves and their offspring. Even though they know there is a better way, some are ignorant at the correct steps to take, and find themselves bogged down with the minutia of ghetto life. For those who don't learn from their mistakes, they often repeat them and can be seen regretting the way their lives are heading. To the ones who stay up at night, praying for a better way, Letters to a Brokenhearted Ghetto was penned for you. Julius Edwards, who saw the path that his people took, and noticed the momentous potential that was being wasted, wrote an impassioned cry to the revelers of buffoonery and the ones who want to change. Knowing that transformation first starts internally, Edwards' book works to help address the mental viewpoints that are toxic to our thinking and our being, then he addresses the history of African Americans to help build their knowledge. By attempting to address the larger issues that affect the ghetto, Edwards hope to inspire a change in the people who haplessly live in the ghetto. Complaining doesn't get results, but with a gentle nod in the right direction, Letters to a Brokenhearted Ghetto might be the answer that many lost citizens have prayed for.
