From Whence We'Ve Come

<P class=MsoNormal style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify>This book is written for my progeny and their off-spring. The intention is to give them answers to questions that were not satisfactorily answered during my childhood while building their self-esteem. It is an effort to help the reader see an authentic picture of American society by telling a story that reveals some truths about the American experience not usually written in history books or taught in schools.</P><P class=MsoNormal style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office /> </P><P class=MsoNormal style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify>Some of the most important events of some three hundred years and their effects on the African-American Community and on one family in particular are examined. Relevancy of the past to the present and an exhortation to pursue knowledge that will provide a basis for a better life in the future is discussed. This account is one more effort to tell an African-American story of family life that is full of love encouragement respect and caring thereby daring to contradict the popular view of African-American family life as presented in the media.</P>
