People are hurting and are in need of a solution. This book provides several plans of action to counter the seemingly unending pain of moral decay and economic injustice. The spirit of this work is unity among marginalized people through identification of the enemy, self-love, family stability, and community building. For all people to reach their full potential, they must be unshackled from false pretenses, and made to understand they have a voice and a purpose. This seminal work is the beginning of that process.
