Reparations for Slavery and Disenfranchisement to African Americans: Four Hundred Years

For over four centuries, African Americans have suffered from injustice and prejudice. Their struggle continues as the release of Reparations for Slavery and Disenfranchisement to African Americans: Four Hundred Years is announced. The author, Gene A. Brown, reveals the magnitude and duration of the catastropic injustices that African American's descendants suffered over four hundred years, from the Middle Passage voyagers to the present. He gives an in-dept account of the evils of the institution of Slavery, and he deems it to be the most heinous crime ever committed against humanity. Readers will learn that the constitutional processes of granting blacks their rights had long been delayed and ignored throught the decades. When the 15th Amendment of 1870 came into effect, white southerners refused to accept the new status of blacks which made suffrage for them tremendously difficult. As such, this release argues that African Americans still do not have the "permanent" right to vote in any state or jurisdiction of the nation. Filled with immense historical details, Reparations for Slavery and Disenfranchisement to African Americans: Four Hundred Years can spark a new wave of debates about Civil Rights, Racial Relations, and American History in general.
