These authors, all deeply dedicated to the telling of an African story, are committed to righting the wrongs of intellectual inquiry by setting upright the standards, criteria, and assumptions often avoided by Eurocentrists-of any complexion. Without the "lions of Africa" speaking and writing about their narratives, the fields of literature, philosophy, social science, history, and psychology would cede to those without the slightest idea about the African knowledge base or how to add to it. Thus, the authors in this volume speak loudly and write deftly and definitively to erect a new phalanx of liberated minds. Readers will learn how Black people of the African Diaspora have a story that transcends Eurocentric teachings and ideology. The intricate knowledge of history, physical sciences, and social sciences is rich in the scholarship of Black educators. We Will Tell Our Own Story endeavors to navigate the spaces of sociopolitical concepts by shedding new light and thinking strategy. The stories are different when the lions are not the victims but can display agency in the hunt and hunted. The authors in this book logically state the cultural, social, economic, political, and literary facts regarding African people and explore what Africans have said-and will say.

Molefi Kete Asante argues that the infamous historical acts of lynching black men in the United States might be used to describe how many people of the white Right Wing have used various techniques to "string up" presidential objectives. Barack Obama as the first black President of the United States met immediate resistance from a white majority that voted for his opponent in 2008. This was repeated in 2012.Asante contends that whites felt that they had lost "their" country and the only way to act was to prevent Barack Obama from asserting himself as a black man. Asante shows in a compelling manner, by choosing many of the attacks on Obama found in the media, that the President was tied up, roped, and hung out to dry by the white Republican Right. Nevertheless, as Asante explains Barack Obama championed some of the most progressive actions ever addressed by a president.
Few critics have examined Fuller seriously and in some ways his work, like that of other black writers, has fallen outside the gaze of contemporary literary and dramatic writers even though he has received some of the highest awards in the nation. Part of this is because few African American dramatists have been looked at critically or studied in classrooms or spoken of in terms of their philosophy, style, originality, and brilliance. This book brings a critical reading and sympathetic location of Fuller''s drama in the center of African American dramatic and social history.
