| "Uncle Sam is Not A Blood Relative! Trials and Tribulations of America's Black Stepchildren" by Kim E. Gordon The United States of America was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, or so we’re told. Yet, in its 200+ year “official” history, America has treated one group of people differently primarily due to the shading of their skin and the texture of their hair. This race has always seemed to be the stepchild of the nation…Cinderella, as it were. The “not-quite-one-of-us” relative through marriage whose presence, at times, is barely tolerated. Our creativity and ingenuity has always been highly prized, but like Cinderella, Blacks were wanted mostly for our labor. And while everyone else had a high old time at the ball, Cinderella was at home slaving away. Well, pay attention, because there’s someone at the door. Cinderella has been knocking there for the past fifty years. She’s scrubbed her last floor and she’s pissed. This insightful book examines issues of immediate concern for America's Black stepchildren. Conceived and written by Kim E. Gordon, investigative writer for the Capital City Courier, one of the fastest-growing Black newspapers in the country. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the fate of Black people today. |
