When We Were Black

The Book Is Called When We Were Black. I Came Up With The Book Or The Book Came Up To Me Several Years Ago. It Was During One Christmas Holiday Spent Time With Children And Grandchildren While I Was Relating To My Familys Diverse Tree When One Of My Daughters Informed Me That Her Children Did Not Consider Themselves A Color Speaking Of Black. Initially I Was Insulted Because Black Was Never A Color But Was A Very Serious Movement During The 1960S And 1970S. . Well I Had To Consider Whether I Had Impressed This Point To My Own Children And Spoke To Others Who Were Having Similar Conversations With The Younger Generation. I Felt Serious Enough About It To Write A Book Diagramming My Road To Being Black Because Back Then You Were A Negro Or Colored On Your Birth Certificate. Being That This Was On Your Birth Certificate The Parents Continued Calling Themselves That. It Was A Big Thing Radical To Tell Your Parents That You Were Black Because For Many It Was Revolutionary. A Revolution Is Nothing But Change And We Were Attempting To Change The World. . I Would Guess That I Am Embarking On Changing The World Now Because Many Do Not See The Significance Between African American And Black. There Is A Significant Difference Which The Book Explains.
