Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Measures of economic success often include household income, family savings,educational attainment, homeownership, property values, employment, health, lifeexpectancy, and community incidence of violent crime. By almost any measure, AfricanAmericans are at or near the bottom when they are compared to other demographicgroups. And although there are pockets of aff luent Black communities, such as PrinceGeorge's County, Maryland near Washington, DC, too many predominantly AfricanAmerican communities languish at or near the bottom. This book attempts to describethe main causes of Black economic disparity, presents a plan to address the disparity,and proposes a comprehensive plan of execution.Essentially, the solution proposed is a Plan for Black Reparations. However, no fi nancialpayout to individual African Americans is proposed. What is advocated is signifi cantreform in several of the community services used by and that aff ect African Americans.These include access to mental health services, reforms in the delivery of childcare,welfare, educational, and criminal justice services to the Black community; incentivesfor both Black marriage and home ownership, and fi nancial literacy. The execution ofthe plan involves pre-qualifi cation and a strict adherence to basic bookkeeping andtime-honored business practices; following a prescribed set of rules and regulations toensure fi nancial transparency and a set of measurable goals to make sure that the Planis moving toward closing the gaps in African American economic disparity.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is an account of Rod Nicholson, a naïve, young, African American professional man born, raised, and educated in the Midwest who came to Mississippi by way of Chicago to begin his married life and start a family. This is his perspective of Southern culture, politics, and race relations from an outsider's viewpoint. Eventually, Rod Nicholson and his family moved to the quaint little town of Terry, MS. Less than two years after arriving in Terry, Rod was encouraged to run for and won a seat on the town's Board of Aldermen. Four years later, Rod ran for Mayor becoming the town's first African American Mayor. Mayor Rod Nicholson was re-elected to two additional four year terms in a town with roughly an even distribution of black and white residents.For a number of years, things appeared to go smoothly for this part-time Mayor. Being a Civil Engineer by training, Mayor Rod had a skill set that enabled him to successfully secure funding for a number of much needed infrastructure improvements for this town that seemed to have a lot of potential but apparently had languished in neglect for decades. And his efforts did seem to be appreciated by the rank-and-file residents from all walks of life in this small town. However, not everyone was happy with this new Mayor and the bold changes that he championed. As time went by, it became apparent that beneath the gentile façade of the townsfolk, there lie a more sinister side where race permeated every facet of life in a closed society that apparently was either unable or unwilling to change. This is Mayor Roderick Nicholson's real life account of these experiences. Positive and negative. And in his own words.…
