Publisher's Synopsis
Somewhere between the civil rights movement and where we are today, something horrific happened to the psyche of black America.
"We allowed the dream of our immortal leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to become a nightmare," Rev. Jasper W. Williams Jr. writes.
In his compelling message, Williams identifies the looming crises facing black America--black-on-black violence, incarceration, drug and alcohol abuse, out-of-wedlock pregnancies and looming debt and financial decline.
The solution to these ills, Williams writes, is right in front of our faces--the institution that sustained black Americans from slavery through segregation and beyond: the family.
