Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

African Americans are a rich, intelligent and resourceful people who seem to have lost our way. Our children seem to lack purpose, pride and a sense of history. Our men are lost and fearful and our women are misguided. I fear that if our collective condition does not change for the better through actively embracing education, entrepreneurship, and a genuine interest in the well being of one another, we will been doomed to repeat bad choices that have been made and reap the sour harvest that many of us have experienced.
