Publisher's Synopsis
This book builds upon my first book with more specific focuses on how faith, sacrifices, and perseverance have provided foundational support for the Black experience in America. These poems verbalize how our experiences have been nurtured and strengthened by our faith, sacrifices, and perseverance. Without these foundational elements, the progress that has been made would not have been possible. They have been and will continue to be critical elements of our experience. For continued progress, it is essential that we don't lose focus of their importance to our past and how they will remain important to our future successes.
We have much to be proud of, when we reflect on what our ancestors were able to achieve with the existence of so many obstacles they had to overcome. Much progress has been made, but much still remains to be done. Past progress has required a collaborative effort of citizens working together, focusing on improving the Black Experience and the experience for all citizens in America. Future successes will also require a collaborative effort, and continuing to effectively incorporate the foundational elements that have been so crucial to improving the Black experience.
This book of poems has been divided into three foundational support sections; Faith, Sacrifice, and Perseverance.
