STONEY THE ROAD WE'VE TROD

<p>Convinced that the final chapter on the life and works of David</p><p>Walker has not been fully written nor appreciated Dr. Johnson</p><p>seeks to present additional insights into the life and struggles</p><p>of Walker for liberation. It is an approach that gets at the core</p><p>of American Racism and to present a challenge to current and</p><p>future generations in order to pursue clarifications of and answers</p><p>to the inconsistencies between America's White Slave System</p><p>Christianity and the message of the Jesus of history.</p><p>Dr. Leonard L. Lovett Ph. D. is a noted Scholar and author. He is the</p><p>Ecumenical Officer and director of Urban Affairs Church of God in Christ.</p><p>Deeply rooted in this work is the urging to re-read Black History</p><p>specifically and American History in general in order to arrive at a point</p><p>in order to engage in creative and positive dialogue as to the true nature</p><p>and degrading realities of chattel slavery in the United States of America.</p><p>Because theological themes of racism liberation and social justice are</p><p>pervading foci of this search as well as is the New Testament Bible one</p><p>must get in touch with the Jesus of history as He is presented therein.</p><p>Subsequently in order to get a better glimpse of the Christ of Faith one</p><p>must take seriously the mandate set forth therein. (Luke 4:18-19). In</p><p>order to arrive at that point on one's spiritual and academic pursuits</p><p>the element of faith and divine relationship. Thus allowing for a deeper</p><p>grasp and appreciation of liberation from social systemic political and</p><p>economic racism. The ultimate goal of liberation is tantamount to the</p><p>repentance of the Nation which includes the economic political social</p><p>systems initially responsible for the original alienation.</p>
