Opis

At the halfway point in the first decade of the 21st Century, Rev. Aaron Franklin, Jr. pauses to take a retrospective look into the lives, loves and leanings of Black Americans. With a unique blend of social critique and Christian theology, Franklin gauges the cultural and socio-spiritual status and progress of his beloved people against the backdrop of the Bible. At the outset, he is careful to identify ignorance - that Achilles heel of men and nations throughout the centuries - as one of the greatest obstacles to Black progress and suggests a renewed commitment to self-realization through education. Upon this foundation, he erects a fascinating superstructure of subject matter; encompassing topics from relationships to religion, sexuality to stereotypes, and much more. The basic premise of the text: the children of Africa here in America are not advancing in accordance with their God-given gifts. In essence, they are Moving Blackwards. You are invited to come along and take one of the most refreshing and sobering literary rides of your life.
