Hear Our Lamentations

Be careful how you treat your fellowman. You never know how those you step on going up maybe the same ones you meet going down. As I look at American History, our struggle and the Civil Right Movement I can't help thinking about the little things the media, presidents, members of Congress, governors, law enforcement, military, racist citizens and others in government just did not understand how to respect people of color and other nationalities. African Americans and others citizens have been cheated by the media's negligence to give us all the facts surrounding the struggle and other facets of American History. Let us not tell our children that we marched from this city to that city without explaining what took place in between and before we reached this stage of our struggle. This book has short stories and poems that tell about our lamentations. Yes, our cries and the cries of others need to be heard and our children need to learn how to conduct themselves in a way that guides to success rather than jails and institutions that incarcerate.
