Black History Everyday Part Two Frederick Michael Monderson

In a Compendium of some (77) baseline essays, Black History Everyday recounts and chronicles important developments in the African-American experience from the birth of this nation to the contemporary mood of the country. Whether it's "Praising the Great Teacher Dr. John Hendrik Clarke" or "Praising the Black Woman;" "President Obama in Africa" and his "Divine Mission;" an "Ode to Kwame Ture;" "Sharpton Today" and his experiences in "The Next Level and Earned Ascent" as Presidential contender; "The Power of Economic Boycott;" or "Ma'at Versus Isfit in Presidential Politics;" to "The Role of the Supreme Court and Its Justices" and the significance of their legal precedents; the activism of concerned Black visionaries as "Marcus Garvey," "Dick Gregory's 'Callus on My Soul" and whether "Have We Forgotten Sonny Carson" to the "Illustrious Queen Mother," "Spiritual Values versus Secular Materialism;" "Lynching as Racial Terror," "When McConnel Meets Obama" and "Mr. Mandela's Long Walk" as well as "Salvation Through Pan-Africanism;" ever looming is "That Missouri Compromise" and "Voting Rights and Redistricting;" all, in which we experience Black History Every day, and the stark reality associated challenges present. Nevertheless, such incredible occurrences never get the proper recognition and respect, due to the extraordinary social, spiritual and cultural contributions African-Americans have made and deserve. Therefore, young readers seeking knowledge and truth are now provided a roadmap and point of departure to understand evolving contemporary American efforts to achieve true "manifest destiny" inequality for all. While the text provides a compelling story, the images highlight the various "campaigns" in which faces of people and signs express challenges to power whether in the "50th Anniversary of the March on Washington" in 2013; Rev Al Sharpton's "We Shall Not Be Moved March on Washington;" "Rev. Sharpton and Benjamin Crump's March at Washington, DC's Liberty Square" in wake of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and the many other victims of violence including Eric Garner to which are added glimpses into "other campaigns." This and Blacker History Everyday provides in highlighting the extraordinary challenges African-Americans face on a daily basis in America today.
