The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks - Randall Robinson

Descriere The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks - Randall Robinson

The author of Defending the Spirit makes a stirring call for America to face up to the devastating effects of slavery and educate all Americans on the century of racial discrimination that followed. The political leader makes a persuasive case for the debt white America owes blacks, and the debt blacks owe themselves. \nBoth an unflinching indictment of past wrongs and an impassioned call to America to educate its citizens about the history of Africa and its people, The Debt says in no uncertain terms what white America owes blacks--and what blacks owe themselves. \n \nIn this powerful and controversial book, distinguished African-American political leader and thinker Randall Robinson argues for the restoration of the rich history that slavery and segregation severed. Drawing from research and personal experience, he shows that only by reclaiming their lost past and proud heritage can blacks lay the foundation for their future. And white Americans can begin making reparations for slavery and the century of racial discrimination that followed with monetary restitution, educational programs, and the kinds of equal opportunities that will ensure the social and economic success of all citizens. \n \nEngaging...Robinson continues an important conversation...His anecdotes support his attempts to reclaim African American heritage and empower African Americans.--The Washington Post\n
