Greetings Everyone,
Today is the start of a brand new beginning. After a year and half of writing my next book and 50 years of living, I have decided that it's time to do my part to change the world in a completely different way. I can no longer sit by in our America and our world and not participate in the dialogue and national policies that affect all of us in so many different ways.
During the past several years and now particularly during 2009, I have felt that many of our cultural rights have been taken away. What do I mean by cultural rights? Well, I refer to cultural rights as everything that makes you -- you! In other words, your values, beliefs, traditions, history, language, skin color, hair, clothing, physical type, gender and age are all distinctive cultural attributes that contributes to your uniqueness. I feel that all of us should be proud of our uniqueness and be proud to co-exist expressing our uniqueness.
Unfortunately that is not the case today. That's one of the main reasons why I wrote my latest book entitled:
Here is my publisher's description of my new book:
"With an African American in the White House, there is no better time for assessing the progress the United States has made in protecting the rights of all its citizens. The Cultural Rights Movement: Fulfilling the Promise of Civil Rights for African Americans offers such an assessment, with an indepth look at the Obama administration's proposed initiatives as they relate to the African American community and a survey of civil rights issues that need to be reexamined in light of Obama's election. The Cultural Rights Movement is a well-researched, powerfully written analysis of why a substantial number of blacks have yet to get their piece of the American dream. Coverage includes discriminatory lending practices; unfair Congressional redistricting, disparities in physician care and health outcomes; the low number of black students, faculty members and coaches in mainstream universities; the phenomenal high rate of blacks being arrested; convicted and incarcerated; the continual growth of black underemployment and poverty; and the near-total neglect of the reparations issue."
After you read my new book, I know you will feel the same as I do. It's time to stand up and defend our CULTURAL RIGHTS!! The major objectives of our Cultural Rights Movement are:
- To embrace, value and respect everyone's cultural traditions, values and history;
- To embrace, value and respect African American culture and how it is integrated into the total fabric of American culture; and
- To start a regional, national and global movement among all cultures of the world that want to assert our rights as human beings and to change government policies the does not include our cultural rights.
If you feel the same as I do, then this is the place for you. Join our efforts to assert your cultural rights as a human being. If you have a special cause, program, initiative that you want others around the world to know about, then join our Cultural Rights Movement.
This is a new beginning and I'm ready to TALK THE TALK AND WALK THE WALK!!!
