African Americans Working Together: Partnership and Respect

By Levi M. Hatcher

This book, African Americans Working Together, deals with this age-old question: When will all blacks folks stick together? It also deals with the, hows, whys, and the why nots.

One hundred and fifty-two years after the emancipation of the African slaves in the United States of America, the effects of the worse treatment of a people known to the civilized world still exist. It not only exists in the African American community but also in the white community. It is proof that Willie Lynchs teachings had far reaching effects on all of America and the world.

This book deals with the effects of slavery on blacks in America and how we (African Americans) may escape from the stigma of Americas worse embarrassment. It also deals with how we can save our black communities and the country that we built. Furthermore, it gives a workable solution to how we African Americans can partner with one another and gain the respect we need in this twenty-first century. As you study this book, it will require a certain amount of honesty on your part.

The truth is it is not all well but it can be. Another truth is every African American can be made to participate in the upgrade. All it takes is A Few Willing African American Men and Women who cares about their people and future enough to get it started.

This book is not about revenge, religion or hatred and anger. It’s about, those who have the heart, investing in their future and the future of generations to come. It’s about overcoming fears, doubts and self-hatred to grow a positive image in the African American Community. It’s about a way to build group wealth and gain worldwide respect for all concern. It’s about learning to work with your Black brothers and sisters no matter their views on life in this country.

Furthermore, this book tells about us (African Americans) and who we are, what we are and how we came to be in this country. This book deals with the changes {We} need to make for our own good. It’s about what we have learned in this country and what we need to unlearn to work with our Black brothers and sisters to build respect for ourselves and gain true respect from the world.
