A very human face is put on the Reconstruction period after the Civil War. The condition of the newly freed slaves morphed into a new slavery that was more subtle, but just as painful. The book brings the reader to the 21st Century where public schools are re-segregating and the world is shocked at the callousness of the way black Americans were treated after hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
Finally, the author examines the prospects for America's future. "Does America have the Moral Authority to promote life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to other people and countries when it still has not and cannot implement, promote and guarantee those same inalienable rights to its own citizens - black Americans?"
As America dominates the world stage, it becomes absolutely necessary, to resolve the spiritual and moral contradictions that undermine its international credibility. When we look at the past, the vile and brutal things this country - white Americans in power - has done historically to its black American citizens, we see that America does not enter the international arena with Clean Hands.
America must choose to free itself from the Paradigm of Slavery and replace it with a Paradigm of Freedom and Justice.
The 2008 presidential election represents an opportunity for this country to rise above the shackles of racism and discrimination and put on the full armor of truth and justice.
America can become the light of world.
When the rains of truth fall upon your naked body, and the flood of tears of a million captive souls comes upon your barren shores, and the winds of justice and equality beat upon all that you have created, Will America stand before the eternal judge, as a testament to the glory of man's humanity to man? Or, will it fall as yet another broken promise that men offer up to their God, and be plowed into the earth as though it never was? The answer America is not in our stars, but in ourselves Amen!
