As an African who has deeply experienced racial hatred and oppression, Dr. Charles urges blacks to look deeply into the mirror, taking responsibility for the current state. Casting off the popular narrative to embody a victim mentality, the author gives dignity through empowerment. The author leaves no room for hatred but a sobering call to embrace God- given dignity to overcome by transformation of identity and behavior. This book is birthed from Dr. Charles's deep love for African American people and awareness of the wounds they have sustained. The church of Jesus Christ has the solution for the agonies of the black community.
