For centuries, the Black Community has been robbed of its History, Many can equate this to being robbed of your birthright. This began with the ushering in of slavery, to the stealing of inventions and ideas, until present day misgivings. These misgivings were perpetrated not only by plantation owners but by those who ran and kept plantations thriving. They would be called "Overseers." Overseers, who were given credit for the economic progress that each plantation would enjoy. The real economic progress was built on the backs of and by the hands of those who were less fortunate. They would be called Slaves. These are also the same people who built universities but were not allowed to be educated within. These were built for Caucasians. Truth be known, Caucasian people did not want the Black Community to get an education, they didn't even want them to learn to read.

These misgivings were perpetrated not only by plantation owners but by those who ran and kept plantations thriving. They would be called "Overseers."

The presence of "Jim Crow" could be seen everywhere. Signs would read, "No Colored People Allowed" or "Whites Only."
People today say things are better for the Black Community but I tend to disagree. Now they are racially profiled by the police for being "Black." They are more often than not assumed guilty when there has been no crime committed. They are pulled over for a simple traffic violation and instead of receiving a simple ticket, like most Caucasians, it could end with them never seeing their parents or loved ones again.
To often, law enforcement officials claimed to have felt threatened or were given a "mean" look by Black men and women, in an effort to justify an arrest, beating, and yes, in a lot of cases, the killing of Black people. And to make things even worse for the Black Community, they now have a "Stand Your Ground Law". This law, in effect, makes it legal for people who say that they felt threatened to respond with lethal violence. Many Black people have lost their lives due to this law, even young children.
Hopefully, from the publishing of this Book, people will recognize just how instrumental the Black Community has been to this country and still are to this very day. And my prayer is, the senseless murders of Black Lives will stop.........
