Download or read book Saving the African American from Cradle to Grave written by Riccardo V. Haynes and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My idea to write this book centers on the desire to educate my own people. Here, I am referring to the black African American man in particular. Although I may not be the most well-known Negro in America, I do feel that I have acquired certain knowledge that if widely dispensed and utilized will definitely have a positive impact on my brothers out there in America trying to survive. The information I intend to relay originates from my experiences in the world, my formal education, the Bible and religious studies, as well as my knowledge acquired in being a member of the most often discussed but most often misunderstood Secret Society of all time. I am referring here to the Masonic Fraternity (Prince Hall Affiliation), of which I have been a member for well over twenty years. Brothers, the time is now. Our time has finally come to advance and be recognized for who we really are and for the greatness of our legacy. Not since the year 2012 have we really been free to become everything that we once were and are destined to be in the future. I will explain the significance of this particular year and why it was so important to us later. In any event, know that you have the power. Use it to better yourself, your family, and mankind.

Download or read book A Black Man Survivor s Guide written by Kenneth Green and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black men in general and specifically in America are survivors. In the twenty-first century, strategies are needed to overcome the petulant and devious psychosocial racist hurdles yet remaining. A guide or handbook employs the "how to" in recognizing obstacles and the steps required to circumvent and overcome them. Black men must begin assuming responsibility and accountability for the chains of stagnation-spiritually, socially, psychologically-some are bound by. Black men have proven we can survive and thrive. But there yet remain many who need the assistance and how-to instructions and encouragement that this book enlists. Quoting the Bible, the sacrosanct word of God, God's word will not return unto him void of the purpose for which He sent it. He sent His Son, now it's time he sent you, survivor. Rise up, black man.

Download or read book Black Americans in the 21st Century written by Doug Saint Carter and published by Heyday Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No doubt Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream of racial harmony, racial unity, and bringing blacks and whites closer together. In chapter one,"We Still Angry," you'll read which of today's civil rights leaders said, "Get ready, George Washington, there's a new neighbor on the Potomac. Get ready Mr. Jefferson, there's a new neighbor on the Potomac. Get ready Mr. Lincoln, there's a new neighbor, and we (blacks) are all coming to help him move in. We brought our luggage, we brought our food. Guess who's coming to dinner?" Those divisive words were spoken at a dedication ceremony for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. monument on August 28, 2011. That cup should have been emptied decades ago, but today's black African American leaders and spokespeople are diligent in efforts to keep it overflowing. -- Doug Saint Carter, Author

Download or read book A History of African American Leadership written by John White and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of black emancipation is one of the most dramatic themes of American history, covering racism, murder, poverty and extreme heroism. Figures such as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King are the demigods of the freedom movements, both film and household figures. This major text explores the African-American experience of the twentieth century with particular reference to six outstanding race leaders. Their philosophies and strategies for racial advancement are compared and set against the historical framework and constraints within which they functioned. The book also examines the 'grass roots' of black protest movements in America, paying particular attention to the major civil rights organizations as well as black separatist groups such as the Nation of Islam.

Download or read book Eight Propositions written by Joe L. Rempson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-11-19 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rempson takes issue with those who lay the plight of African Americans on racism, not seeing it, today, as a major obstacle to black progress. Rather, he traces the origin back to what he terms the African American Garden of Eden. In it, W. E. B. Dubois outlasted Booker T. Washington and fathered a tradition which Rempson argues has produced a victim identity and an emphasis on the system rather than the self. Only black males offer a way out, he declares, because it is entirely “our black males who are keeping us down and curtailing our progress,” in contrast to black females, who “are doing OK.” They are plagued by what Rempson calls the African American Male School Adaptability Crisis (AMSAC). Their academic performance ranks at the bottom, alone, below black female students and below white, Asian, and Hispanic male students. In large urban areas, their high school dropout rate is 59 percent and, nationally, they lag behind in college attendance and graduation rates. The outcome, Rempson argues, is dysfunctionality and the existence of hedonistic norms which hinder family and community stability. But while black males are the problem, Rempson contends, it is nevertheless only they who can solve it because research and experience show that it takes males to bring up and change other males. Though intended for everyone, he therefore writes his book to his fellow advantaged black males and makes a passionate plea for them to step up and, with the help of black females and of the nation, take the lead. As their guide, he has formulated eight propositions. Arrived at through an examination of impressively extensive data from numerous sources and disciplines, they are a marked departure from the customary. Most strikingly, delicate matters, such as those which pertain to intelligence quotient (IQ) and culture, are openly confronted and dealt with. But, Rempson writes, “unless confronted, we will not solve our problems.” “Nor,” he continues, “can we solve them unless we cut the umbilical cord to white America. We have no right to expect it to be our savior; nor are we justified in perceiving it as our oppressor.” Forcefully and finely written, Rempson’s book is a singular and courageous contribution. Alone, his eight propositions make it a worthy read.

Download or read book Black Man Emerging written by Joseph L. White and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of centuries of institutional and interpersonal racism, in light of the signals they receive from society, and given the choices they must make about what they want from life and how to go about getting it--how can Black men in America realize their full potential? In Black Man Emerging, psychologists Joseph L. White and James H. Cones III fashion a moving psychological and social portrait that reflects their personal views on the struggle of Black men against oppression and for self-determination. Using numerous case histories and biographical sketches of Black men who have failed and those who have prevailed, the authors describe strategies for responding to racism and entrenched power--underscoring the healing capacity of religion, family, Black consciousness movements, mentorships, educational programs, paid employment, and other positive forces. They also explore the concept of identity as it applies to being Black and male and ithe influence of Black men on American culture. Black Man Emerging is a poignant and personal discussion of the issues facing and felt by Black men in this country and an important commentary on the conflicts born of human diversity.

Download or read book Black Snowflakes written by Spencer Shaw Page and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-11-27 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberal Victimhood has sabotaged the minds of young Blacks causing them to become whining, sniveling, sensitive, little snowflakes. Books like Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me treat young Black males like hopeless infants. Black Snowflakes by Spencer Shaw Page serves as the antithesis by compelling Black Americans to take responsibility for their lives. Figures like Robin DiAngelo, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Ibram X. Kendi and Ta-Nehisi Coates paint a historical picture of hopelessness and abject victimhood. They disrespect our ancestors by blatantly ignoring the heroes of our past. Black History is filled with inspiring entrepreneurs, inventors, intellectuals, and innovators. Many of them earned their fortunes during the horrors of American Slavery and Jim Crow. It's stories like that of Mary Ellen Pleasant or Jeremiah G. Hamilton that can show young Blacks that, even through the worst of American racism, they can accomplish great things. Black millennials have been taught to adopt an external locus of control which causes them to become childlike and dependent. We have become the counterexamples to the Black heroes of our past. We have become losers in the game of life. Black Snowflakes offers young Black males a new perspective. One that reflects the self-reliance, individualism, and conscientiousness of our ancestors. One that teaches them how to become winners. Young Black males need a message of empowerment and encouragement. They hold the keys to the next generation. If they are not living to the best of their abilities, how can we move forward as a community? Black Snowflakes takes us on a realistic journey into the steps Black males must take in order to live up to the expectations of our forefathers.

Download or read book A Guide Toward the Successful Development of African American Males written by Darryl S. Tukufu and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet is a guide and model for parents, educators, religious institutions, social service agencies, community centers, and other organizations that interact with African American males. The guide begins with the introduction of the African American Male Development Model, six criteria that, if internalized by males, would place them in a better position to make a contribution to themselves, their families, and society. These criteria are: (1) religious, philosophical or ideological orientation; (2) positive mental attitude; (3) the Nguzo Saba; (4) African American culture and history; (5) social development; and (6) social capacity. The two most important are the religious, philosophical, or ideological orientation and positive mental attitude. The Nguzo Saba is a black value system that forms the basis of continuing development through seven principles. A knowledge of African American culture and history is important in the young man's social development, and various rites of passage, mentoring, and manhood preparation strategies are described that contribute to social development in the context of the Nguzo Saba. Working to improve social capacity through community organization, political and social change organizations, and economic empowerment initiatives supports individual development as well. Appendixes present the principles of self-efficacy and Nguzo Saba. (SLD)
